sewellia albisurea
hi all
I just saw sewellia albisurea here. not for the first time. http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/ ... 1252255980
looking a bit like a lineolata-spotted combination beautifull species. it's a pity it's not nearby. so: anybody over there loving sewellia should try to get them
if any informations needed ...
cheers charles

hi francois
great you found them. lucky you.
some LFS here sell fish imported by Ruinemans (NL) but it could be difficult to know. it's a tabu to ask. and one to answer. sewellia are not on his stocklist anyway (and a picture of b. kweichowensis as g. punctulatus!).
as a matter of fact it's more than upsetting if they mix now lineolata and albisurea. the small natural resources of albisurea won't stand the pressure made by the trade that way.
all in all it's not a big surprise. after all even the great german importers haven't changed s. "breviventralis" in elongata yet, some wholesalers did. it's clear what makes the difference: some accept infos others do not. simply a NIMBYism, lack of know-how, low interest in facts?

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/mitarbeit ... wellia.pdf
will show you as to why i,m quite certain about this
It is at the least very interesting to hear they might be sold in Europe
If Ruinemans will stock them we still might be able to obtain a couple of the tadders

thanks CatsandFish for the specification.
the link was not to open could you try again?
I exchanged a mail with an importer on that issue. he says a mixture is not very probable on the singapur-level. some months ago they had labeled it at the great exhibition as sewellia sp, realising, that it is a different species. no reason to relapse.
