Ahhh thats too bad, Jim. He has definetly increased his loach selection in the past couple of years due to their increased popularity.

Ah well, I guess you will have to find a baby Uncle Ned's in TN.

The darios looked especially colorful, as did their twins "b.geto" Can you see a difference Mike? I thought getos were of the rostrata type...

Hi Nancy,

Yeah I picked up 8 of the B. dario, very colorful little guys. No, B. geto was the same as B. dario. Typically B. rostrata is labeled as B. geto but sometimes they call B. dario, B. geto as well. I know, very confusing. I looked at their B. histrionica but they were just too small. My B. udomritthiruji would devour them as snacks.

I saw his url on here, and have been watching his stocks. We may need to do a road trip sometime, meanwhile my better half picked up 6 Striata (including 2 with interesting patterns) and a 10 gallon Qtank, BioSpira, heater, etc, today. Getting them settled now. Add another couple hundred bucks to the cost of a $4 fish....

AND we looked at a cute sumo loach as well. How do those get on with Botia?
