Does anyone know what a marble botia is? I saw it at an LFS in a tank with clown loaches. It looks a little like a zebra loach. Originally it cost 18.99 but was on special for 9.99. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about this fish. How big it gets? Compatibility? Water preference? Hardiness? Any info would be appreciated!!

Without a pic its hard to say what the correct fish is as different shops in the same area can use different common names for the same fish. I've heard of Botia lohachata (Pakistani Loach) being referred to as marble so. Check on the following address (its not a link sorry)
