I added some images for Botia dario and Botia striata following what I thought at the time...it is confusing me...who can we check with...right now (because of me) we have Botia in both Cobitidae and Botiidae, according to COF and others they should be in Cobitidae and Botiids are a subfamily (I think).

I had this discussion with the AR loach contact who provided a paper showing the latest position is they should be in Botiidae.

Okay great, I will keep this one in mind if adding a new genus somewhere...

No worries, I've used it up elsewhere.
