Striata need home
Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 5:21 pm
Hello Loachy folks. It's been a very long time since I have logged in here, I'm happy to see the site is still going strong.
I'm here because life circumstances are causing me to need to find new homes for most of my fish, including 9 adult Botia Striata.
In spite of knowing a large number of fishkeepers in the Minneapolis area,I don't know any who have a real appreciation of loaches and it's very hard for me to part with these guys. I do not want them going to someone who will toss them in an Af. Cichlid tank or worse..a 20 long.
About the fish...I have had the original 5 for just over 5 years. The other 4 joined at later dates, but none recent.
They live in moderately soft water. Have never kept them in anything less than a 55g and they have been in a 75 for most of the time.
One female is oddly stunted, or perhaps more like a runt. She's short and fat. lol...but is entirely healthy and active.
None of the fish have ever been ill, and in fact I've never lost one.
If you live within a reasonable drive of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro and are interested, pm me here. Price is very negotiable, I'm more interested in finding a proper home for them.
Thank you
Kim H.
