Hurray more Botia Striata!

[PsyKick]

I have had 3 of these lil guys since I got my first aquarium, and not knowing anything about fish when I bought them, I neglected to get the minimum required for a happy school!
When I found out I need at least 2 more, I went back to get some more and they were out!!

After months and months of waiting, with none of the LFS's being able to get any more, I finally got the call today that some Botia Striata were in!

So I rushed down to the store and got 4 of the guys, and oh man was I excited!

My girlfriend dumped them in when I wasn't looking, before I could quarantine them, luckily though I had already acclimated the QT with the drop method (by the time she dumped them it was almost all tank water). Well now there are 7 extremely happy loaches zooming around the tank clicking and annoying Gary (my Albino BN) SO CUUUUUTE!!!
I wish my camera was working so I could get a picture for you guys!!!

I feel so unmanly doing this, but loaches make me go "SQUEEEEEEE"
haha!

I just hope I dont have to deal with the ICH again....

:help:Dude...
congrats on the loaches... but seriously? don't ever say either of these two statements out loud... I am pretty sure secret agents come out of the walls and make you turn in your "man" member ship card :eek:

At least thats the rumor I've heard:lipssealedsmilie:

Nice one. Pics?

Cool!!!! I just bought one from my LFS. It was in a tank all by itself and looking very unhappy. So I bought it and it is in QT. Soon as it gets my AOKay--its going to go into the 75g to join the rest of the zebra botias.

I disagree. Only men who are truly secure in their masculinity can go "SQUEEEE." Just like wearing pink. ;)
