False Siamensis

I had this fish is my tank for a few years now, and always thought it was a Flying Fox. Today somebody told me that is is actually a False Siamensis. Other names for it is Siamese Stone Lapping fish or Combodian Logsucker. It's Latin name is Garra taeniata or Garra cambodgiensis. There's some confusion about it's true identity and is often mistaken for a Siamese Algae Eater.
