I'd tend to agree - though I am not completely sold on the female.

I am not convinced that is a female.

Does this have anything to do with this?:

looks like 4 rather raggedy, very mature males to me... The bottom one being the alpha

I think I'd be sceptical to anybody that states that "the fry seem to diseappear", and "they are kept with botia and a turtle" (!)

That would explain why one of the fish are missing chunks from the fins though... I'm amazed they have survived at all

good observation John..

I guess if you got 4 raggedy males and you buy 1 of someones fry you can call it a breeding group and ask topmoney for it.
(or is this just my twisted mind?)

BTW for your info:

For all you guys that don't read german it's an article about having botia species as a tankmate for zebra's.
There were a lot of sudden deaths when botia's were introduced to zebra's because some botiaspecies seem to have a poisoned sting on their gillplates.
(hope i did the translation right because it's from german to english and my native language is dutch)
