orange fins on polka-dot loaches?
I was given 20+ loaches a few days ago by a guy that was going to start keeping some other types of fish. He has had some of them for as long as 10 years.
There are 5 polka-dot (Botia kubotai) betweem 4 amd 5 inches. A few of them have orange in their pectoral fins. Have any of you seen this on other polka-dots?

Thank you, Mad Duff, for your comments. I had never seen this before in any pictures of this fish, so was wondering.
Going to have to be me some of the rostrata. I think I have a tank I can put them in. Better have, because I can't add any more tanks.

wow. They are beautiful large fish. None of my 12 little kubotai have any orange, but I only just transfered them to a 6ft tank today so they are a little washed out at the moment (but swiming around the tank at break-neck speed.... massive change from their previous activity in the temporary 2ft tank).
5ft long rocky hillstream tank - Sewellia lineolata and spotted... and lots (and lots) of spotted fry
8ft Clown loach tank: 30+ clown loaches, 10+ Yoyos.
6ft tank for 16x botia kubotai, 13x Striata, 6x Sidthimunki - I need more sids

These are my older ones Andy, the fish in the secong pi are around 3" there and the others are over 5"piggy4 wrote:very nice fish are these your older one's or those different one's from Pier
How big are the fish in the pics
It is the newer ones that are showing the red in the fins, as soon as their tank is ready for them to move into I will get some pics
Pardon my honesty - I am a Northerner
14 loach species bred, which will be next?

Besides the Kubotai, he gave me three Denisoni that about 6" long. Really nice fish, but too large for my 125.
