While I picked up 6 Botia rostrata down at Aquotix, Joe got interested and picked out three that looked 'a bit different' to him.

Are these definitely rostrata?

I'd say so yeah, good pic too !

That's a beautiful fish! I just bought some younger Rostratas, and they are more silvery in appearance, instead of golden, but the markings are similar.

I would agree also, these chaps can vary in pattern.
