i took this short vid earlier on as it's unusual to see them out in the open without food to entice them, the first fish is one of the males and the one to the left is a female who was bulging with eggs the other day, now she's alot slimmer. hmmmmm.

Nice video Mick. I just got my first s. balteata. So far it's not shy at all.
I also missed the dog :)

Fun video, especially the whiskering of the tanks mates.
I relly thought your snoring pooch made for a nice background sound in your last video. :wink:

Excellent stuff. 8) The ginormous Botia kubotai at the beginning were very impressive too.

thanks Em, that fish is just over 6 inches SL.
i took the vid because except for feeding time and water changes they are in hiding, but what vibrant colours they've got now, possibly through me raising the ph and hardness of the tank.?
the vid does'nt show what colour they really are.

uuuhhheee... so cute. I love their look into the camera, they look so "interested", even though she/he gets banged around a little by the big ones - still keeps lokking straight into the lense again, cool.

Those Almorhae are starting to look pretty damn good !

That big Kobotai's lips are huge , I think if Jagger is ever ill it could possibly stand in for a gig or two ?
