he is a loach.. dont know how big they get but my friend have a couple of these, really entertaining sometimes.. they seem to like it best in a group and are mostly bottomfeeders.. as for size.. if they're not extremely slow growers I would say 3-4" to be the absolute maximum.. probably a bit less.. I want to point out that i'm absolutely no expert, just a guy who knows a guy who owns some of these..

Welcome to mfk and your post made me laugh. Thanks for the info. :D
 
thanks for the info.
there was only one for sale at the lfs i went to, and he was just so funny to watch that i had to get him.
now i need to find some friends for him...
 
i had one. liked living in hob filter more than the tank:nilly: but sadly was murdered
 
nope its a small botia kubotai for sure also called the polka dot loach they get about 5'' and love each other like clown loaches so try to get more or it will get stressed they sell them at petsmart and petco all the time for about $10 but some petsmarts are charging $20 if you got it at petsmart or petco then i'm possitive on the id

watch him if in a few years its stripes join togeather and make little dots in the middle then i was write
