Zebra loach--Botia striata Rehome - Dallas Ft Worth Aquatic Plant Club DFWAPC

I bought this loach (zebra loach, Botia striata) about a 1.5 years ago or so.
Had a snail problem in a 20g tank this guy has taken care of it. He has outgrown this tank.
We need to re home him. I believe this is the name of the loach!!!
They are shy would do best in a larger tank. We are in Fort Worth.
Thank You

We would love ot pick him up - Can we set a date for Monday? I need to get into Ft Worth on Biz and could bring him home with me. Tank mates would be 24 other loaches which 6 are Botia kubotai - all in a 150 moving to a 300 gallon tank soon.

Looked up our loaches and we actually have Kubotai - not Stiata. If you still have him - PM or call me to arrainge pick up on Monday.

Thanks!

Karen,

Really great to meet you and see a couple of your tanks - the Botia is happy swimming with a few clowns right now and looks like he lives there - he will have lots of room for growing! Many thanks!

Paul very nice to meet you and your family.... Cool bike
So sorry for the state of things around here.
Lost power at 8 ish, Chain saws arrived about 11 and that went on till 3:30 AM. Intertwined with various men screaming over the lightning as they worked. Yours truly went to sleep at approximately 4:15 AM and my friend Gary called from Jakarta at 6:30 and chatted till you rang around 9ish.
Glad to here the little guy is doing well, hope you enjoy him he needed a larger tank and looks like he got one 300G!!!

Again Thank You for taking Him.

Most welcome - we will be juggling a bit for awhile while we get the big tank set up - for now he is in a 95 wave tank with three clown loaches, 1 smaller pleco and 5 Bala Sharks who are also waiting for their new home.
