was just seeing which of the botias would come out for the camera, some rare shots of the big dario's and a good shot of one of the four caudipuncs i have,
just for Jim the snoring dog is back, he ran behind the settee so i could'nt throw him out of the room.
hope you enjoy.

Nice video. I always have trouble figuring out the scale of fish in these videos. About how big are those fully reticulated yo-yo loaches?

Oilhands I have been to Micks and his fish really are stunning, in fact they are far, far better in person than the video portrays. For a sense of size the Puntius denisonii are near full grown.

Incredible fish Mick! What is the beautiful beast at 2:10, rostrata?

the beastie at 2.10 is a female histrionica mate, she's topping 5+ inches SL now.
oilhands like Doc said they are roughly 3 1/2 inch SL now and growing pretty well.
Chris my fish thank you for the compliment mate.

She's magnificent! I saw another with similar markings swim by later on in the vid. Do you rekon this is some regional variant or do those markings come with age? Mine are about 3 1/2 in and don't look anything like that.
So who's the boss in that tank? I'm guessing the big dario.

plaalye, the other fish that swims by is another female, but unfortunately she has skinney problems but she seems to be getting slightly heavier, otherwise shes in good nick.
the cock of the tank mate is a female berdmori, when she's got a paddy on everthing moves out of the way.
