Hi,
I'm new in this forum, and I'm sorry for my English (I'm writing from Italy). In the last 5 weeks I prepared my new Tank, 100 litres (80x36x42) and I would like to put inside a group of Ambastaia Sidthimunki (BOTIA) 5 or 6 not more. I have seen this little fish and are fantastic. I have read all informations on the web and also in this forum... but my question is. What are others fish compatible with the Ambastaia Sidthimunki ?
Many tks to all

Re: Ambastaia Sidthimunki (BOTIA)
Looking on getting some of these myself.
I have seen them in tanks with discus, kribinsis, rams, small tetras, gouramis, hatchet fish and all manner of plecos. I will be putting mine with eartheaters, festivums and rainbows or congo tetras. I'm curious if anyone has mixed them clown loaches or striped (striated) loaches.

They are relatively small, and 100l is a small tank.
I would add a school of almost any warm water tetra, barb or rasbora, a few Otocinclus for algae, and maybe a single Honey Gourami.
Example:
(6) Ambastaia sisthimunki
(12) Trigonostigma heteromorpha
(3) Otocinclus affinis (or other)
(1) Trichogaster chuna (males are more colorful, but may get territorial, so just one)

38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.
Happy fish keeping!

Diana has some good suggestions! I would suggest adding more of the sids if you can. They really show off in a larger group. 12 is good.
