Zebra Botia Botia striata

Snail Eradicators!

Named for the dramatic vertical stripes that run the length of their bodies, these instantly recognizable botias are indispensable scavengers and snail hunters for your community aquarium. Topping out at about four inches, these botia won't need nearly as much space as their larger botia counterparts, but will work just as hard. They will thrive in a well established aquarium with neutral to slightly acidic water, with several other members of their species and plenty of places to hide.
