Botia Sidthimunki

[Gill]

Brought these home this afternoon after more testing in the Hospital.

I think she is full of eggs

Thats my New female Albino Paradise fish in with them, can't wait to introduce her to her mate to be.

Eeep, given the backwards curvature of the spine I'd have said more likely it's on it's way out, but fingers crossed!!! Y. sidthimunki are a truly awesome species of cheeky critters

These will be going in with Tridentia in her birthing tank.

remember i have over 10 tanks now, which will quadroople once the fighters arrive. ohh and the 200 cherry shrimp.

Yeah i would rather try and let her lay. if not and she looks in trouble will euthanise her.

I dont think she is gravid to be honest.

I'd have said much more like Dropsy/TB, see how the body is flexed similarly to this poor barb;

There is a Y. sidthimunki vs nigrolineata article on Loaches.com, check out this pic of a gravid female Y. sidthimunki taken from the article, it not even nearly as bloated as yours;

Not being awkward, I just think you should have steered well clear of that fish when buying.
Sorry,

Price is nothing in fishkeeping, lives and potential to bring in disease are
