Cobitis macrostigma
So I was doing some searching today online and came across this fishbase.org site:
www.fishbase.se/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=54728
Any one every come across this species? How do they compare to other Cobitis species? While working at the Ichthyology department at Harvard University a few summers back, I remember looking at jars upon jars of Cobitis sp. specimens. Some remind me of the one in the photo in the above link. How can you distinguish between Serpenticobitis and Cobitis?
Any thoughts, ideas, etc.

Take note that the "Identification to be verified (ongoing)". There are so many species and sub species and i doubt that's Cobitis macrostigma - though i don't have and papers regarding that species in particular.
I don't know much about serpenticobitis, i don't think many people do. Nonn caught a single one a few years back and put it in one of his tanks, he only saw every other month i believe. I also suspect that their numbers are limited in the wild.
