Tiger Botia

[Sauteman]

My lfs has a tiger botia in stock. I have never kept them before. Are they as easy to keep as red tail botia and clown loaches?
Anyone have any info on them, like personal experiences? What to feed etc? I am doing a google research, but like to hear fish keepers feedback as well.
If you could share pics to that would be great.

I've had them over the years and love them. They are great for your more aggressive setups. I wouldn't classify them as a community setup loach and will chase others. There is a few botias that have that name and the two most common get from 6-12" long. However, they are fun to watch in large groups but do not school like clowns. I would recommend at least a 6x2' for them and hiding spots.
