Check out

and follow the threadfin link on the left. The fish at the top look
close to yours.
Also from another good site

Nice find!

it was wasn't it :-) I decided to put them in my Zebra tank, even though
they do come from the other side of the world, they both prefer silghty
acidic and soft water.

funny thing is, after I put in the rainbows the Zebras are much more active
and out in the open. I don't think it's because of stress, as if they had
been, they would hide in their caves rather than be more out in the open?

I have a water pump that creates quite a stir in the tank for a few hours
every day, which is not part of the rainbows natural habitat, but it looks
like their handling it ok. If I see any sign of them not handling it I'll
move them over to a different tank, but so far it looks like all parties are
happy with the arrangment ...

You can see them here http://questus.dyndns.org:8080/ if you'd like a peek
