[GSAS-Member] Botia striata (was) Re: Red Worms & Free fish

[haika@drizzle.com]

Once I get set up again at my new place, I want to make a Botia striata
species tank. I have 8 B. striata distributed amidst several tanks (they
are my favorite loach besides B. sidthimunki). So, if you can wait a
couple months, I should have possession of my new place (in Clearview) on
6/18 and would love to take your B. striata once I get the tanks set up
again.
