I had the same thing. About three months ago, I got a batch of what I thought was Rostrata, but as they have grown, now I can see they are definitely Kubotai. Not as you describe with white bellies though.

i borrowed a picture of you emma i will delete is as soon as i can take a picture but the botia i need wont show itself at the moment.

under the yellow line it's white

the pattern is also different from my other kubotai is finer and it had small yellow bands that or not connected in the middel... i wish i could take a shot now but if you know botia's that may look like i discribe a can watch them to id.
