Re: Upgrading/converting tank

How about this one, male or female? https://photos-4.dropbox.com/t/0/AAATWIzhhfG7r93azbSvrrQo-psnTiajEg2DPvHuzyRfXA/12/178815153/jpeg/32x32/3/_/1/2/IMAG0675.jpg/5XcPp_yWqv0zHR96Gon5BlDQHhkEjFbqPVcz03rmg_A?size=1280x960 https://photos-3.dropbox.com/t/0/AAAcA-1bLBFdcO9AzoEaxa9qtrH2dEjdbB3PUiA04Svfrw/1...

Re: Upgrading/converting tank

Checked all +/- 20 Sewellia's in our lfs, all seems to be males, except one maybe. Is this common?

Re: Upgrading/converting tank

Thanks, because when I compared it to this, it looks more female to me:

Re: Upgrading/converting tank

As mentioned before, I hope my Sewellia will breed in this new setup. But most of them are too small to breed at the moment. My biggest Sewellia is this one: http://i48.tinypic.com/181vgz.jpg I know how to sex them and all the others are definitely females, but this one I'm not sure. Looks like a fe...

Re: Upgrading/converting tank

Little update, I first putted in the new Fluval U4 in the tank for 3 weeks with the old filter media added inside. Next when the filter was running well I redid the tank, took out all the plants and added lots of rocks (algae needs to fill in) and new sand. The Sewellia are more in the open now and ...

Re: Upgrading/converting tank

I exchanged the filter for the Fluval U4 of 1000L/h (220gph). Aimed the outlet on the rocks and the Sewellia love it for sure. The Vietnamese minnows are mostly swimming in the calmer area's on the top but don't mind to swim in the current from time to time. Right now there are 5 Sewellia lineolata ...

Re: Clown loach turning albino?

I had a axolotl ones who had the exact same thing happening, I thought it would die but it turned all white. A year later it started to develop brown pigment again, but after a few months lost it all again. Never been able to find the cause (I always thought it was a food nutrition deficiency but th...

Upgrading/converting tank

New on this forum but already the proud owner of a 54L (12 gallon) Vietnamese 'biotope' tank for a while, which is running quite good. I keep Tanichthys micagemmae and Sewellia lineolata in there and the Tanichthys have bred multiple times but I never raised any fry. It's main goal was to set up a p...

Re: new hillstream tank

I've done something similar like you, but a Vietnamese biotope. I keep the Vietnamese cousin of the White Cloud (Tanichthys micagemmae) along with Sewellia lineolata. At the moment it is planted with Vietnamese plants, but I'm thinking about converting it to a rock only tank and increasing the flow:...
