i've seen these histies before on the board and think they are amazing. my favorite botia btw but is there a regional difference in these fish. these do not look like the typical histironicas i see and have. where are they from ? nice photos too

They are looking fab, MD.

Am I correct in thinking these are the Ataran variants you got from us?

That first specimen has a wonderful 'T' shaped mark on its side.

they're in really good nick mark, i'm with Andy on this one though, i think the ones caught in india are the better shaped fish with better defined pattern than the ones from ataran.
but saying that i too have the ataran sp as i coudnt get the others.

I am hoping to pick up a couple of normal histi's to go with these but the only ones available round here are tiny and not great looking fish to be honest so I will have to wait until I am on my travels again

I really wanted some histrionica myself, very nice fish. (Although I have no regrets getting the kubotai.

Hi all , as far as i know Histrionica from India [Manipur] have'nt been imported ?
I think they are imported from at least two places in Burma !

nice fish. Like Mick's, there are some numbers and letters on your fish too.

Ha ha Mick you

so and so , you know me i dont like to use bad language

I think Histrionica comes from at least 3 river systems in Burma ? but as far as i know the Manipur ones remain elusive at this stage
