Arrival of the Emperors!

Post by Emma Turner » Tue Apr 24, 2007 5:57 pm

Nine beautiful (and expensive) 'Emperor Botia' arrived in Crowland this evening! :mrgreen:

I took only a few pics whilst they were in the bag (didn't want to scare them) so more will follow over the next few days, once they've had a little time to settle in:

The supplier had them listed as 'Botia sp. Tenasserimicus'. They are 5" TL. 8) All have different patterns too, which will be clearer to see when I take more photos in the tank later in the week.
