Interesting article.
But did i get it right ?
Basically it says that the same species of Ballitorid.
varies in appearance when found at different altitudes ?
This could very well explain the differences we spot in our Beaufortia Leveretti's/Kweichowensis.

hope you like my Sidth's http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/13thmonkeyslist/Fish/IMG_2743.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/13thmonkeyslist/Fish/IMG_2763.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/13thmonkeyslist/Fish/IMG_2845.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/13thmonkeyslist/F...

Finally some decent pics (comparitive pics at that) of the pale Beaufortia :D Since i redecorated the tank all Hillies seem way more out in the open i redid the current corridor and turned it into a current field, added more rounded cobbles and shifted a big piece of wood to the back of the tank Wel...

More Hillies Different species or different sexes ? First picture is defenitely another shape and build as the second and third pics http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/13thmonkeyslist/Fish/IMG_2825.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g204/13thmonkeyslist/Fish/IMG_2829.jpg http://i57.photobucke...

This took far too long but for all of you who love hillies here they are :D Finally got my hnds on a decent camera to lend for pics. I am still figuring out the best settings, so expect some better pics soon. first 2 pics of "blacky" still shy but turned out not as shy as the pale Beau's This one is...

In my case i,m quite sure my "blacky" is a beaufortia (spotted all over)
I always hope for a synogastromyzon wui contaminant, though shy they are quite nice in appearance.

Just today i spotted my "Blacky" sitting on the filter box when i was doing the regular weekly water change (offcourse no camera :S) I will watch out for the "tigrinus" patern you mentioned. In the meanwhile the other guys are still doing good :) though we lost a Cheni :cry: No apparent reason he wa...

Your tank looks nice and clean
I have that same none unidirectional flow
Still the Hillies very much enjoy the setup so far, 400 lph internal and a 500 lph JBL proflow mini 600
Offcourse i,d love to build me a tank with manifold and the works,
alas no space here for a 3rd tank.

Well they all stick to the glass like glue :D Except for "blacky" (as i adopted him) he,s been hidden since he got in the tank but he,s defenitely not patchy :P Neither are the other guys they seem very well and are active. And i,ve already spotted them eating algea wafers :D edit: not just the glas...

An apology from my side should be in place aswell :oops: I guess i was a bit coarse back there, well i guess it,s my enormous enthusiasm for these kind of fish that got me so excited (in both ways) :roll: i just very recently (say 2-3 months) got into this hobby and already knew i wanted one of thes...

Wow............73 people read this and noone of you even took the effort to atleast say: "you're wrong Beaufortia's aren,t sexable just be patient" I,m just trying to help out in the only way i can, by observing my fish. Everywhere i read this is such a great community, well if not even one of you t...

having watched my foursome of Beaufortia's for almost 2 days on end now. I can seriously see a little difference between the sexes. The index suggests males most likely are lighter in coloration. 2 of mine are bright in colours, 1 measures around 2" the other 1,5" The other 2 are slightly darker and...

Your spotties are mighty beasties Emma :wink: but it,s hard to even get a Lineolata where i live :? LFS keepers look at me blinking when i mention their name. I,m jumpin up and down anytime i find out a hillstream species is available just today a friend called me, saw he seen some Gastromyzon Ocell...

yeah defenitely good looking fish.
I,m curious are there are any pictures of the other known Sewellia species ?
a 15 page google search on Sewellia turned up only this one
