I picked up another couple of Botia dario yesterday to add to my existing group, these two are big fish.

This is the first fish (to show size the tank it is in is 7"x5"x5")

This is the second fish

As usual I'm jealous.. only because I'm fully stocked and SWMBO won't let me set up any more tanks at the moment.. I think you should start showing more videos that way we'll become more jealous.

The only new tank I'm allowed to set up would be a Marine one and that would be for her not for me.. Although a slight glimmer of light for me is the potential to set up a 40 gallon (UK) breeding tank for HER very gravid Clown Loaches..

I may be able to squeeze a couple of two or two and a half footers under the big tank and hope she doesn't notice...

Still I'm jealous of those Dario and they aren't even a favourite of mine

Chris, if you want some 2 footers come on over mate, i'm changing over to all big tanks now mate, had enough of breeding stuff.
i've started with a 6x2x2 that i just got of a mate for 30 quid and it's like brand new looking.

After a liquid lunch with the other half she has said that as long as they are all contained in one place she doesn't really mind what I do.. Haha.. I take this to mean

Add two 30"x12"x15"h tanks for whatever purpose...

..

I really should marry this woman..

The two gaps either side of the middle should suffice.

Any more that size and that price in the near future you let me know. Would suit a nice population of B.dario and maybe B.udomritthiruji methinks...

back on topic.. Mark I really do think you should get some videos posted asap.

Chris has asked for a vid mate, it's not a proposal sweet.
