Beautiful pics Charles

Beautiful pictures Charles

They really show the great diversity in patterns with the Sewellia

If it was another source it must have been the lobster (which is gone by now)
or the Chaetostoma Sp.2 .The only other thing besides hillies are a colony of cherry shrimp

I think in fights with other hillies but i,m not too sure

Little Fritzl is growing (now at 3.2 cm TL) and turning out one bold Gastromyzon, this little fish even competes with my biggest Lineolata's 5.7 and 6.3 cm and when it comes to Hikari wafer time it forms a tagteam with my 2 female spotted Sewellia's http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/13thmonkeys...

This is my odd patterned male, don,t mind his fins as they were torn to shreds when this pic was taken about 2 months ago his tail is already starting to regrow after it was almost completely gone 2 weeks after this pic was taken. His dorsal and pectoral fins still look shoddy but in general he's qu...

Yes i've seen this with most of my hillies from time to time
(Gastromyzon, Sewellia, and Beaufortia) though not as heavy as i saw with your pictures or Oddysey's

Beautiful markings indeed :D I have a small male (4cm) that also has a very odd dotted pattern especially on and around his head (will post some pics when i have a connection at home again) About the size, i have seen some very big S. lineolata at "de Rifwachter" (a dutch fish/aquarium store in Hilv...

the link is to a .pdf you should be able to open it with Adobe reader installed

Indeed Sidth's eat snails, and preferebly lot's

@ Francois: I still have that snail eating Lorricarid (L254 for those interested)
It's in 'the tank with the Sidth's
and will remain so i ain't never sellin her.

Sorry to disappoint you Francois. Our fish (i got one of those 3 ;) ) are just what they sold em for: Very very big Sewellia lineolata. http://www.igb-berlin.de/abt4/mitarbeiter/freyhof/.../Sewellia.pdf will show you as to why i,m quite certain about this It is at the least very interesting to hear ...

Well i'd rather keep em with the cooling equipment at a healthy 22.....at 27 degrees mine become A lethargic and B start breathing like they ran a marathon. and....all that cooling equipment.......it's just 4 fans mate ;) of which 2 have been disconnected already as the other 2 can keep up with the ...

Beautiful fish mate, even though they might need a little TLC the colours are much brighter then what i encounter in the LFS' here

It's been a while since my last update :) The hillstream tank is still running perfectly i've added some inhabitants and all is still going well haven't had any fish loss, so i,m quite proud I finally did stumble on to Sewellia Lineolata and bought 4 small specimens. Also added 3 more Gastromyzon Sc...
