Hi!
I have a 120l Skunk tank with 9 skunks. This is the tank with the most aeration and circulation of all my tanks. I was wondering what you thought about the idea of adding a Sewellia Lineolata (or 2) in this tank??

I know that skunks can be quite feisty buggers, but has anyone tried this combo? Somehow I imagine that they are such a big and established group that they will keep the aggresion within theyre own group. But I wanted to hear with you guys first as I really don`t have any experience with Hillstreams

Oh, by the way... I have a lot of backup tanks if it doesn`t work out. But theres no point in trying if it`s useless to begin with!

Kind regards
Marius

I would not even attempt it.
I have kept Sewellia with sidthimunki and B. rostrata with no problems, but skunks are much more aggressive.

Their temperature preference does not even overlap, either.

Thanks Jim and Diana!
Wont even attempt it then.

Kind regards
