Hear, hear!

Thanks Jim - 'had not seen Anubias Design before. They don't have anything at the moment, but I will keep my eye out. Chenis would be fun... I think someday maybe I'll be annoyed by breeding/overpopulating fish, but right now I just think it's the coolest thing!

I have a 55g (200l) hillstream tank with turnover around 15x/hr. Temp is 78, pH is 7.6 (I'm trying to bring it down a touch, but my tap water is 8.0). Current Stock List: 3 Sewellia lineolata w/ fry 2 Stiphodon sp. rainbow 1 Garra panda 1 schistura balteata 3 peacock gudgeons I am interested in addi...

Jim, do you know if yours eat their own eggs?

Wow, 12 years is a success story in and of itself. I hope you find the home for him that you're looking for!

Oh I thought he looked quite good~ he's a nice size! I wonder if Artem might have been talking about the look of the water. The photo has a bit of a haze and a brownish tint to it, which gives the water a bit of a dirty look. Usually if my tank water looks like that something has stopped up the filt...

Artem, yes, I am excited to see what happens, too! 8) Right now I have my sewellias in a 55g river tank set-up with young botias, clowns and a brown african knife (!) :shock: I removed the young because I was afraid the knife would eat them. Fortunately, the botias, clowns, and knife are moving to a...

Hmm, I've never heard it, and from your description, hope not to!

Oooh la la!

It's a beauty!

Yes, Artem, lovely picture! Lots of reticulation on some of those fish - more than mine. They look good!

I've read the articles on loaches.com, but I'd really love more information about collecting and raising the fry. Any resources you have would be appreciated.

I have tiny green (fruitlfy-like) flies that I have been unable to find the source of and I am wondering if maybe they are coming from a small shrimp tank. I also occasionally convince myself that something has stung my when I've have my hands in dirtier aquatic environments (like the canister filte...

On Monday (my 25th birthday!) I found 5 S. lineolata fry, 7-9mm, in my 55g river tank, which houses 1 male and 2 female adults, along with a whole bunch of other fish. Too many fish, really - most are moving to a 100g next month. I am afraid to even test the water quality to report it - this is shee...

That's really neat! Congratulations! I agree about removing predators (and who wouldn't want to eat such tender young fry?). Otherwise, making fry food available for them, and putting pantyhose or a sponge filter or something over your filter intake so the babies don't get sucked up would be worth c...
