Various Botia Pics

In an attempt to photograph the Yasuhikotakia lecontei that went into my 6-foot tank the other day I was completely unsuccessful, but I did manage to get these pics.

A kubotai
Now this is the "Yoyo" I bought a few weeks ago primarily because he was all alone in a tank of Rift-Lake cichlids and had nice, unusual markings. Here he is in the bag sometime in early August.
Now he looks like this. You can see a very slight increase in the diameter of the round, light patches in the stripes.
I guess you can look at it and say that it's an older almorhae that is developing the more reticulated patterning, but then you have to consider how big it actually is............
That's a freshly dropped in Hikari Algae Wafer, so it's only a little titch really. Currently, it's following the kubotais around, but the interesting thing is that I saw one follow it so the interaction isn't just a one-way search for company that the newbie has been missing.
