I use to have 2, but now I have 1. I thought both were dead, because the last one mysteriously disappeared, but when I put my adult crystals in the tank it suddenly reappeared. So now I have a headache on my hands. I have to get rid of the shrimps or get rid of the botia. So I will have to work hard at getting rid of the botia. It seems to not distrub the shrimps, which is a good sign, but I still don't want to loose them. Sorry to hijack the thread. These botias are good sizes for a 15+ gallon tank, just get 3-4 to make them happy. You won't regret the price and they are rare to find. Thanks Eric.
