Everyone keep an eye out for the official scientific name for these chaps. The Emperor Botia Loach is in the processes of being described!

Lovely shots Graeme, they look to be settling in well. 8)

Chen, whilst these do need a bit of feeding up, they have been treated with Levamisole hydrochloride and have had intensive feedings since arriving at our store a few weeks ago. Graeme will take great care of his. They are much more elongate than some other Botiines though (a similarity to S. pulchra springs to mind) with a larger head shape, and are very very flexible.

Is there a such thing as a photogenic fish, or is it just a talented photographer?

Thank you everyone. :D

Jeremy, I'd say the fish and not the keeper!

Jim, It's the camera flash that shows the blue sheen. I tinks. :wink:
