Striata with unusual markings

Post by LeStat » Sun Dec 07, 2008 11:30 am

I picked this fella up along with some other Striata not long ago, he has very strange markings though?

What a lovely specimen. 8) Have you seen the other pics we have of Botia striata with unusual markings? They can be found near the bottom of the B. striata profile page: http://www.loaches.com/species-index/botia-striata If possible, would you allow us to add your pic to that page? If so, PM me with your full name so I can credit the pic with your name.

Very nice - some of mine have similar markings in restricted areas, but not over the whole body. Beautiful specimen!
Why does my aquarium always seem too small?
