I was at my favorite LFS today and they had an emperor botia (botia udomritthiruji (http://www.loaches.com/species-index/botia-unknown01)) for $150! Amazing botia, but I'm poor right now. Pictures don't do it justice.

Realy neat fish, the prices for the are around that for around in my area too. Havent figured why so high of a price. They used to be more around 50 each but never avialible, since only found in one area. They seem to be more and more common but the prices still seem to be increaseing. Being a botia loach one should have 6-8 wich unfortunatly at these prices makes them out of reach for most.
The price is very steep because these loaches are not easy to obtain especially where location and other obstacles such as Myanmar rebellion are involved.
Gorgeous loach, but not worth that much IMO.

Especially because I'd want about 15-25 of them. LOL

Surely you can justify that price amount for fish with all the money you save on CL deals ;)
