Just a note about using Baensch to identify this fish. On page 419
neither if the fish shown is the true siamensis. It actually looks
closer to the top fish which is also identified.
Here's an excellent web page with info on the siamensis
http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~aquaria/AGA/cyprinid.html
Also if you're in the State's, I know a guy that will ship these fish
when he has them. His name is Karl Schoeler with the email addess of
krsfert at citilink.com
He also sells a version of laterite under the trade name Substrate
Gold.
