Can anyone tell me where to go for information on breeding Botia angelicus? They have also been called botia kubotia or the polka dot loach. I have at least one female that seems to fill with eggs. Haven't been able to find any info on how to breed this loach.

You could try www.loaches.com and see if they have any suggestions.

We can put a man on the moon, but nobody knows much about breeding Botia Angelicus yet,
and for good reason.
This species of loach is quite new to the hobby. Also, most loaches are not known to breed in the home aquaria. It is very rare.
If you have a pair of them that are courting though, you could try to isolate them or move them to a breeder tank.
Can you tell me more about your aquarium and fish? Such as Plants, substrate, water parameters temp, kh, driftwood, lighting,
