B. geto = B. dario, that`s for sure!

In Response To: Botia Almorhae (BB)

Never heard of gheto and getho (or was that a typing mistake?). Some people think that rostrata = almorhae but not all taxonomists agree (for example Kottelat). However since I`ve got my copy of sharks and Loaches I`m beginning to feel like that`s true. There are several pics of Yoyo Loaches with different patterns, some of them looking more like rostrata some more like the classic Yoyo loach and everything in between. So it could be that rostrata is just a variant of almorhae, but....who knows. Definitely rostrata is not dario.
