These showed up at my LFS last week and I couldn't resist, so I got 3. This is the first time I've seen B. histrionica in the flesh, They also got some B. rostrata in and it was a tough choice but I chose the histies after reading opinions here. They're about 1 1/4 inch and living in a 10 gal with a few rescues where I can Q them for a month or so while I get my new 75 up and running. They've been shy since I got them 3 days ago and finally came out today for a photo shoot!
These g. zebrinus have been in the q tank for about 2 weeks now. I came home for lunch and they were really going at it! Chasing each other all over the tank, nose to nose in a pushing match to see who was the strongest. This went on for quite a while I snapped shots of these usually skittish fish. Wish I had a video camera. it was great to watch. They're young, maybe an inch long. Have any of you witnessed this behavior?

I wanted to post a few pics to show how fast these fish have grown! I came back from 3 weeks in Thailand and it seemed like they had doubled in size. They were about 1 1/4-1 1/2 inch when I got them in Sept. My Kubs were probably 2 1/4- 2 1/2 at the time. They've left the Kubs in the dust and the biggest is now a good 3 in. Markings have changed a bit too. They were identical and now easily told apart.
The smaller one upper right has developed a gray sheen. i'm wondering if this could be a male characteristic?
You can see how much bigger they are than the Kubs.

Good finds! I picked up some real young Botias about a month ago sold as kubotai. This shop usually only carries kubotai and clowns so they're probably kubs. They do look like histies however, I'm anxious to see what they end up turning out to be.
