Gastromyzon katibasensis from a new location in Sarawak

This red Borneo sucker, Gastromyzon katibasensis is the dream fish that I was searching for more than 15 years & I only managed to find it recently, thanks to fish hobbyists who found it in my homeland lately. That river is my playground since 2 years ago but I didn’t notice got this beauty living with other fishes there. 2 days ago, I was "fainted" when i saw it for the first time in the pool that I used to photograph other species of fishes!!!
