angelfish83's Mystery Loaches *PICS*

[Martin Thoene]

Hmmmm....Botia klingonensis de-cloaking on the starboard bow Cute, aggressive, invisible......unusual. I'll pick him up whenever.

Mike, here's how big we're talking. I just happen to have some of your currency hanging around.



Ken.....it would certainly be interesting if you can found out anything through contacts. Czech it out

Sophie.....hehe! I purposely didn't say that because I wanted to see if someone else saw that too. It would account for the aggression that's been reported.
I don't know why one would want to stick that in the mix with histrionica genes, but it would account for the colour in the pectorals and some races of Skunks have red/orange in the tail too.

Maybe, just because they could. So you end up with an attractively-marked, but aggressive loach that may stay small. Somewhat illogical Captain.....which brings us back to the start of this post.

I'm going to be keeping a photographic record of their development. If they start clicking in Klingon, then we'll know.

It's a Botia Jim, but not as we know it.

He lives

That's excellent! It's funny to wonder how although you totally stripped the tank, that guy managed to stay in there.
He's definitely winning survival of the fittest.

No he was just wise to the situation because I caught him 2 days earlier to take eroded barbel shots, then martin said he'd take them...

he saw that net come in and clicked his heels twice and off he went

Did he look at you, raise a single barbel in flip-off defiance and wizz off?
