Yup, these are all M. polli . I could never find any differences between the spotted and unspotted forms (except for the color pattern).
Thanks!
I have been thinking the spotted ones may be juveniles...are your spotted ones smaller than the others.
These are highly variable in pattern.

Since a few weeks I have some Chiloglanis sp.
I suppose they are the same as all the other Chiloglanis sp who are now in Europa for sale.
About there behavior: They are always sitting at the same spot at the glas (in an area of 5x8 cm) so it's not really moving. I've seen them by a friend of mine ...

I wouldn't go for a 30 liter tank. I don't know if they are territorial, but i guess the are (at least a little bit), so space could be a problem and you have to keep the water really clean for them.
