Hi all,
Just thought I would mention that I think the Salaween/Tenasserim Botias are hitting the markets soon. I have seen some offered for sale online and am working on a deal to aquire a good group of these. Very interesting loaches in my opinion.
Best,
Mike

Definetly. From what I am hearing they are being sold/marketed as "Salaween Clown loach" or "Emperor Botia/Loach."
I will keep all of you updated. If I manage to get a hold on a bag of these, it will be in the next week or 2 and will post photos as soon as they are settled in.

Does anyone around NY want them?
I talked to my loach source here, and they seem to be available. If one-two more people want them I can try to convince the place to get them.

Is there a chance we on the forum could group order these and say, take 4 or 5 each?

This is exactly what I was asking. If there are a couple of people who would commit to 4-5, I think this can be done.

Emma, Have you seen these on your supplier's lists yet?

No.
....but I'm going to get our import company to ask the Thai supplier next week if they are able to get them. Last time I did that (for
B. kubotai, before they became available over here) they kindly obliged and went over to Myanmar on a little fishing trip....I'm sure I probably told you about that before.
Anyways, I'll report back if I get an answer!

No problem, Emma. I know you will.

Toronto? I dont know if it is even legal to ship to another country. OTOH, if you are willing to drive to NY to pick up, this is a different story...
