From the side, it still appears more slender than what I would expect from many Botiine species. I think this is just how this particular fish is though, as it was Levamisoled several times and has been fed intensively for a few months now. It doesn't look skinny or anything, just more slender and slightly more elongate than other species. Hopefully Helen will be pleased with it's progress.Martin Thoene wrote:You sure fattened it up Emma.

As this fish is still in our care, and if Helen doesn't object, I can pop him into my photo tank and try for a quick shot of his underside through the bare glass bottom of the tank. Let me know if you'd prefer me not to move him Helen, I'll wait until I hear from you.

thats fine Emma. i cant see how it can do him any more harm than being hoiked out a river and carted to the other side of the world. it sounds like the Dark One is requesting this for a valuable purpose, so i am pleasd that you can do this. it is proably easier for you to do it like you suggest, than if i was to have him in a tank at home. and your photography is far superiour to mine.
is there any difference in ray counts between almorhae, kubotai, rostrata and birdii?

Hi EmmaEmma Turner wrote:Thank you, Hels. It'll probably be a few days before I get a chance to take these photographs, but will add the pictures to this thread when I have done the deed!
Emma
If you are taking it out to photograph it's underside, it would be a good opportunity to take a side shot if it whilst you have it out and not constantly moving about.
Cheers
