Oh, sorry. I hadn't seen this yet. Very nice! Careful mixing those two hillstream species. Sewellia are a bit more feisty than the Gastros.

Well I found two sewellia and added them to the tank, and so far everyone seems fine. The sewellia actually are quite shy so far. The gastroscope still rule this tank, hogging the algae wafers i put in. Man they are very active fish! When you see them in the pet shop they don't do very much but in the right environment they really hop around a lot. Is it possible that the video shows some kind of courtship behavior because they don't seem to fight as much and kind of caress each other a little...very strange.
