One of the most popular botias is the clown loach; they can reach 9-12" depending on your source of info  There are a number of other botias that grow to 6"+ as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

| Calilasseia *Ultimate Fish Guru* Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003 | Back when I was a teenager, I once kept Botia horae. Nice little fellows they were too. Trouble is, they seemed a bit delicate. And shy. |
