Hi Betty: I'm keeping the striata but have one big Tiger Loach. He's cute, but I have no idea how large he will get. Do you use a computer microscope at work or just a regular one? I may have some stringy red worms for you to look at and a mite.

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.
