i picked 8 of the last shipment as they were all over 3 inchSL.
they have to be one of the best behaved Botias.
great tank and fish.

I will if I can get a closer one-he/she likes to stick to the back of the tank

The striata have only been in the tank a week or so now, and only have started coming out yesterday to venture around the whole tank while I was there. Some of the sand has started to settle on top in areas, if not I have some sand I can chuck on top

Nothing as of yet, just the striata and a tank full of a mass of almorhae, apparently there will be more coming in throughout the next few months
