Loaches Online Forum

Just thought I would share these 4 pictures that I managed to get while taking photo's of the hybrid Botia's last night.

Absolutely stunning!

I think those B. rostrata pics need to be added into the species profile, and if you don't mind I'd like to add the weirdy B. striata to the 'strange markings' section of the B. striata profile to keep Helen's company.

Wow, where do you find all of these nice hybrid loaches? I am lucky if I can get 1 brown kuhlii out of a tank of 50. That first one looks like a cross between a Botia striata and a Botia almorhae.
The third one looks like a Botia kubotai variant.
Interesting

clf, none of those are hybrids, just naturally occuring pattern variants.
