Help me identify my new tiger botia?

Post by JWhipple » Tue May 27, 2008 9:09 pm

I picked up three of these yesterday - beautiful little guys, need to be fattened up a bit though!

Are they too young for a positive ID? They are maybe 2 inches long.

These do well with helodes , get along great.The stripes are solid with no mottling lower like the helodes who also have a spot at the top of their tail as opposed to these with a spot on the dorsal fin.Great fish !!
