now i understand what you was going on about this morning mate the second dark bar foreward of the peduncle.
good selection matey.
my 2 have settled in well with the caudi's no aggresion from either species yet, in fact the only botia to bother them was the S berdmori but that was mainly to find out what they were.

They have settled really well into their tank and seem very shy so far, they did venture out just now to get some bloodworm and have retreated back into the cobble pile.
Mick - At one point I did net two and my Dad said that I had the one I was after and they other was nice, it was only when I got home that I realised that the other one in that net was the one that had a dent in its back (you can see it in the background of pic 5).
I was a little peeved but it seems to be a bit bolder than the others and has already had a nibble at my fingers

Yes Mick, I will post them tomorrow
Seeing you in action with that net you could give Kamphol a run for his money mate
I think I get the prize for the biggest net of striata though
