cool, my vote hat impact of 50% :wink:

... As Mike states, clowns are "everyone´s darling" (I mean... you know... English is also my second language :lol: and I love mine that I described them in another post as "under water dogs"

I hit "others", because my aborichtys is a top entertainer, his eye-contact was so obvious already in the store... Digging a lot, rebuilding his cave daily.
I pLayed with my finger tip on the glas, he comes toward me when I do that. Sliding my fingertip towards the sand, he started "digging out" the fingertip, when I went below the sandline, that was sooo sweet...

He goes for my finger outside the tank, inside the tank he is rather carefully taking offwhen I approach with hand...

I am still looking for more, but still not lucky...

I think everyone will know which species I voted for - it's rather obvious! :lol: Marge is watching me right now from the shady depths of one of her bogwood hidey-holes, so I couldn't not vote for them!!! :P

I keep Too many Loaches to just narrow it down to one. But these Botia Dario are quite 'Goofy' at times.

I have got to go with 'other' and vote for hillies ;-) I don't think you can beat the franic feeding anticts of cheni with their flashing dorsal fins...

(of course i am very biased on this not keeping any other loaches!)

Yeah, I have to say that my yoyos (when I had them) were WAY fun to watch. Also enjoyed my botia eos alot too, but he was a killer... :roll:

I’ve voted other & will put forward Blackline Loaches (Botia nigrolineata). They’re constantly on the go, chasing all over the tank in every nook & cranny, they come to watch you watching them, an absolutely brilliant fish.

My baby skunk botia's are fun as they never stop moving and chasing each other. they seem as tho they never sleep.

OK, I voted for the Kubotai's.

The honest vote would have been for the Clowns, but I think they are doing fine without my vote, and "None of the Above" never got anyone elected. :wink:

But I do find some hillstreams (Chenis, Schisturas) more exciting than Botia's.
