Sorry, wrong notice in my archive. Thanks for the feed-back, Jim

Hi That's no problem, they don't crossbreed. Actually I have S. lineolata, SEW03 and SEW01 in one tank with about 200 youngsters. All without any sign of cross-breeding.

Nowadays there exists an English version of the magazine, but not for this issue. As far I know, the situation has not changed much sin...

HI Wild caught from Borneo are rare in trade. And fragile, when they arrive in Jambi/Sumatra. That's a problem of storage in Borneo itself. So they must be properly fed before export. From Sumatra itself there is traded a tiny quantity of wild caught specimen, less than 7 cm long. Larger specimen ar...

Hi I use this service http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/ I'm shure that this exist in English too.
