The pattern has changed quite a bit since I got them but they are very secretive so good shots are hard to come by, over the last 6 months or so the dots have got smaller and the pattern has got tighter.

B. Rostrata
I managed to get this photo of a couple of my B. Rostrata that have really weird patterns

Emma - There are definate similarities between mine and that possible B. birdii, I got 3 and only one still has regular Rostrata markings these two have changed a lot.
Helen - I have had these just over 12 months but it is only really in the last 6 months that theri pattern has really started to change

Interesting.
There is a chance they came from the same supplier as the batch of Yoyo's that Helen spotted that weird 'B. birdii' loach in.
Botia rostrata can be difficult to obtain unless bought directly from India, which is where that batch of Yoyo's were from. I can't be 100% sure on that though, but I'd say there was a very high chance they came from the same supplier. The only other time I remember getting B. rostrata in from elsewhere was problematic, hence why I think these came from that same Indian supplier. The time that I tried them from a supplier in a different country does not tie up with the time at which yours were bought from us either....

Oooh the plot thickens
Thanks for the info Emma, it is strange how only these two have changed pattern and the other one still looks like a bog standard rostrata
