Very nice pictures, specially that guy, are they really that aggressive? Guess I just will enjoy pictures than. Amongst your other pics above, is that a caudipunctata? How are thos behaving and how many do you keep?

the berdmori is not that aggressive i think all the other botias know not to tangle with it.
that is a caudipunctata wolfram, the only time i see them is feeding time
they were a bit boisterous when they first went in the tank but now i don't think ive seen them attack any of the other fish, and there's quite a few botias in there both youngsters and adults.

Theres another I have never seen for sale here,nor Rostrata's

I would not hesitate to keep them with Almorhae , I have one in with mine and my small Clowns. Mildest of the
Syncrossus by far in my experiance. Look mean but are not ime/o.

Which almorhae would that be?....am I going over old ground here? Great shots though. My pictures are never that clear or well composed!

hi mate, the fish like the camera especially just after they've been fed

.
the almorhae i know for sure is a wild caught but it's the oddest marked out of a group of six my mate told the collector that if he tried to pawn any dubious fish on him he'd go somewhere else for his indian fish

.
on the same import i picked up 10 wild zebra danios although tiny they are beauts, i'll post a pic of the biggest of the six and he's more like what we see.

Absolutely stunning. No other words for it. I love yoyos but none of mine look that good!

Dave when andy and i got them they looked like straps, not thin i think it's where these were caught as looking at the the caudal fin looks to large for the body,
our mate must have got at least 300 of them in, me and andy had first dabs at them cos he phones me to tell me whats come in. yippee.
