Botia caudipunctata

Hi all,
Its been about a year since I purchased 3 B. caudipunctata and 2 B. eos from a store down in Providence, RI. Wow how they have grown! The alpha specimen, which I am guessing is a male has developed a deep blue body coloration, an orange tinged dorsal fin with black spots and a lemon yellow caudal (tail) fin with large black spots. This guy is a Mun river variant of which Bogdan posted photos in the species profile page. The other 2 lack the spots in the dorsal fin so they are a regional variation but never the less awesome looking. Will try to post photos soon. Just thought I would share my observations.
