I
adore the one in the middle-left. Looks almost like there was some botia kubotai in the mixture. I wish I could find one like it!

Around 25-35...they get hard to count after awhile. lol.
I have plans for a large indoor pond for them in the future. I would really like to try and replicate their breeding grounds in the wild...if I was able to find more information on it.

Great photos! It was encouraging to see the different sizes that you have. Eventually I want to add to my group when I get a bigger tank and was concerned that adding smaller ones might be a problem. Your photos just answered that question.

That sounds cool, but the little bit I've read suggests that they breed in moving water in the river and the little 'uns grow up in the less tumultuous areas...my guess is that is why it's so difficult to breed them in tanks, but I wish you the best of luck- and please keep us updated

Breeding I have assumed meant at a mature age and most if not all rarely make it,I thought if they are 20 years or so then maybe in the right conditions

Neat photos. Are you using a remote flash above the water?

That one with the orange area in front of the dorsal fin looks like an Orca!
Beautiful fish!

I like it how there is shadows and darkness in the background. How did you do that?
Almost forgot to mention that you have some excellent clowns.
So, I thought I would finally share some of my oddball patterned loaches. My favorite has to be my "V" loach.
