diver21 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 quick google came up with this, http://www.seriouslyfish.com/profile.ph ... rei&id=404 A territorial and aggressive species unsuitable for the general community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Royal Botia came in a few months ago and are really beautiful, but also very aggressive. The 30 I got in ripped up many many fish and finally were put in a tank by them selves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh_S Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 dont you hate it when family stick fish in your tanks as they dont want them anymore Haha on this note. Gave my sister a few fish to add to her community tank when i took apart my 60L. The little GAE i gave her terrorized everything and ended up in a icecream container for a while then down to the LFS. I felt so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I got 2 of the Royals in an 800ltr with 5 large queen loaches and 12 large clowns with a few swordtails, swords are being severly nipped and at feeding time the royals chase the Queens but the clowns are way bigger and just run them over, thought about putting them in my other 500ltr loach tank with 40odd smaller loaches like striata, angelicious, queen, rostra etc but i think the royals would chase them, i would only recommended them for tanks with big aggressive fish.
