Hi these are the real thing ,why dont you think they are, they are Botia udomritthiruji.
I am very good friends with Kamphol Udomritthiruji who the fish are named after he sent them to me .
The problem is that maybe they look like rostrata,kubotai,histrionica.
I am confident they are the real deal.
Check colour , dorsal marking and collection locality.
Maybe you would like to use the photo in the loach index.

*Drool*

A fish on my wish list that will remain only a wish

I simply do not have the space for a tank that would do them justice.

Hi, I recently got something similar. I thought mine were Histrionica. Any chance mine could be Botia udomritthiruji?

Would the collection point have Botia udomritthiruji, Botia Histrionica and Botia Kubotai co-habbitating?

I know they are really hard to distinguish when they are young. I have read the articles at LOL especially TDO's article.

Hi,There is a man who might be able to answer these questions .
The problem with that is he may not be able to with his exclusivity?
They are in a tank next to some similar sized histrionica
The emperors are more yellow and the bars are splitting in straight lines not x's and y's .
I willl ask Kamphol , maybe he is looking in?
They are £9.50 , a lot cheaper than the big boys we've had in .

Hi All, Botia Robert PM'ed me and let me know about these fish that were at a shop in Brisbane so I went up and grabbed three. In his PM he mentioned that he thought that they could have been Kubotai due to the light-blue dots that most had in the centre of the dark bands and I can say they certainly had the look of a young Kub but the dark band was certainly different. I asked the guy in the shop to catch me ones without the dots - heres a few photo's.

And a pic of one of my Rostrata's.

Cheers Graeme. And thanks again Botia Robert.
