Poor quality, appologies. Photo taken just after they were released and have not had a chance to get some clearer pix.

Botia udomritthiruji 5 in total, one at 6inches and rest between 5-6inches

Very nice Tenasserim River loaches. Definitely on the want list!

Are dojos the only cold water loach?

Are dojos the only cold water loach?

It depends what you are classing as 'cold water'. There are a few species that require lower temps than dojos, such that they are unable as of yet that I know, kept successfully such as Barbatula barbatula for example which requires around 15degrees c and lower at other times of the year.

There are several species of Sinibotia species that like the cooler temps-I keep mine around 22 degrees c, 24 in the summer.

Some Schistura species are found in the cooler 20's, same with some of the hillstream loaches.

Although from the above species, not all are compatiable with one another eventhough temps overlap.
