Managed to pick up 5 Botia Striata today, asked how much they were and was told I could have all 5 for £8 - Woohoo bag em up :lol: .

They are already feeding well on bloodworm.

Yes, what a good deal! Why were they liquidating these for so cheap? hmm.. they seem very healthy, good colors, good fin condition...

What kind of gravel/sand are you using for these little guys?

Ya really, that is quite cheap- and they look like they're in good condition too... I guess they didn't know what they were really worth?

Quite cheap?

At current exchange rates, they were Image$3.38 each

You know that's before tax in Ontario....and you know the current price is almost $6 here before the 14% goes on.

The price will include tax in England, so it's not "quite cheap", it's a steal.

Mark Duff you are a scoundrel and a bounder Sir and I congratulate you on your purchase/steal/blag.

Nice lil fishies you got there :wink:

Martin.

The particular shop has a knack of getting fish in and selling them on at little more than they come in at, I have had some real bargains from them in the past. As soon as I saw them they stood out because every other batch of Striatas in all the other local shops are shockingly skinny :( .

They are in with my B. Rostrata and B. Dario at the moment and their tank has quite fine gravel.
