yo yo

this probably sounds a silly question because of course there is only one type ,isnt there?thing is i have 4 of them , not a snail in the tank either since i had them. had 3 together and they grew up , probably 2.5 inches long now .a while ago, probably 6 or 8 mths ,i got 3 for another tank , one died soon after having him and then one vanished . the remaining one was put into the tank with the three[muskateers i call them lol]. thing is he has never grown any bigger ,so is he a different yo yo or is he just destined to be small.?he plays and swims with the others ,he is just the tiny one , still only i inch long. pebbles

Is it marked in the same way? There are many Botias, many have superficially similar markings. What strikes me though is you say it is only about 1" - the little one is not Botia sidthimunki is it. They have very variable markings, but never grow large.

Botia sidthimunki is actually a highly desirable little fish - not always available. Just a thought.

no ,pretty sure it isnt, although is the same size as some i have seen , same markings as the yoyo but, colours very much darker, markings almost black and quite distinct, will try and get a pic of the big and the little. [if they will keep still]
