Does anyone have some Dario Darios? (http

/www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_striata.php)

If so what are they like?

Could you please describe them for me?

Would you recommend them and why?

I am thinking about getting a group for my spare 60 litre and wanted to know if they were worth it, all the profiles i have have seen talk them up abit.

Thanks alot for any reply

I'm a bit confused because your link is to an article on the zebra loach. I'm guessing you mean these little fellas: http

I've never kept them so don't know what they're like to keep. However, I've heard that they are good fish to have in a 60 litre tank as they are small fish, provided that it is well planted. I've heard that they can be picky eaters though, so that might be something to keep in mind

As said above your link is to Botia Striata, then there is Botia Dario and then there is the Scarlet Badis (Dario Dario) ???

Presuming you mean the fish in the link; Botia Striata (or Botia Dario) then a 60L would be too small given that they should be kept in a good sized group and are incredibly active, IMO a tank size of nearer 120L (30G) would be much more ideal
