Ive decided to turn my 55 gallon tank into a sinibotia tank, but I still cant find any for sale,online or in any lfs. The pet store I got my first one in went out of business a few months after i got him. Anybody know somewhere i can get any?I'm looking for any species except robusta.
Also, I was wondering if i have enough water flow for them. The tank has a sponge filter with a profile 2900 air pump,a powerhead for a 30 gallon tank, and a topfinn 60 HOB filter. Should I get another powerhead?
Finnally,are there any good tankmates for sinibotia? I'm not worried about temperment, just how warm the water will be, i'm planning on having it at 68F since they are subtropical,and i'm not sure if there are any compatible fish that wouldn't mind that temp or the current.

Thanks botiaboy, hopefully someone in your area will be able to recommend somewhere for you.

With regards to tankmates, many of the Danio and Devario species enjoy fast current and cooler temperatures. There are some really beautiful species available in the hobby these days, well worth thinking about.
