is this tank? uhmm none i guess mayby adding more to the kubotai group.
but i am thinking to start another tank with .....hillstream loaches. don't know wich species yet, but it has to be one that lives in larger groups.

Hahah! Martin will be pleased that yet another loach fan has been assimilated!
If you do set-up a River Tank and would like fish that naturally occur in large groups, then you could go for
Sewellia lineolata. Have a look at this old thread (you need to scroll down towards the bottom of the first page) to see some pics of them in their natural habitat - they can be seen congregating in large groups:

With regards to the
B. kubotai tank, you could add a shoal of small Asian dither fish, maybe from either the danio, barb, or rasbora families. Their presence might encourage your
B. kubotai to venture out and about a bit more.
