COLLECTION ONLY
From Woodley (Reading) Berkshire

Darn, if I'd only seen this a day earlier I'd have dropped in and taken them back to Scotland to stay with my larger group (hope that's a good home). Let me know if you've still got this fish in three weeks time when I am back down.

Cheers,

Jools

If you are wanting to get rid of it sooner, I can probably pick it up and add to my sons group of three. I live about an hour away. But Jools should have priority as he "answered first".

Go for it Mats...

Hi what date are you down in 3 weeks, as the perfect day to collect would be Sunday 13th June, I'm over my sister's breaking down her tank that day so let me know if you can come? Thanks

Just to check the species type, pic below

Ah, I don't think that is S. nigriventris, but the picture isn't too clear. What size is it?

It's my sister's, I'm not sure few inches, spends a lot of time upside down, and hiding in caves, sorry to be so vague, is it Eupterus perhaps?

I _think_ it is S. eupterus - my son would probably love one, but the tank isn't really big enough (18 x 24 x 15") to hold one throughout it's life, and all my tanks are already quite fully stocked.

She cluelessly bought it a few years ago and it's been in a small tank, she has no idea about fish at all but it's always been kept on its own and is only about 3 inches and seems fully grown now

I'd say that is a farm bred and it'll get a fair bit bigger than 3" once introduced into larger surroundings. A bit large for my group!

we're not far (Basingstoke) and we have the space, but would it be happy with BNs and Botia loach?

It would be fine with Bristlenose. Which Botia species is it?

--
Mats

botia kubotai

I think it will be OK, but bear in mind that the Syno gets to about twice the size of the loach...
