Sewellia lineolata videos
Here are 3 short video clips of my Sewellia lineolata, which I took to show how they move about, for those who have never seen them 'in the flesh'. These were taken shortly after adding a bit of food to the tank.
First off, this one shows some of the adults and some of the young:

This one shows them on the glass and the manifold sponges:

And I included this one for the 'nose shove' at the beginning:

Unfortunately, the photobucket hosting does seem to result in loss of quality, and sometimes you have to try 2 or 3 times to get each video to run properly. Please turn the sound down otherwise you'll hear my camera constantly refocusing!
The Spotties were, unfortunately, being extra reclusive and would not venture out into the open for me.
Anyway.......hope you all enjoyed them!

Thank you all!
Mark, this is a very fine grade black silica sand. It has the same feel as the Silver sand (actually a light golden colour) that we see here in the UK quite often, but is of course, black instead. It's a little weird when first giving it a rinse, but after that settles just fine and the fish love it. Helen has also used this same sand in her new Botia tank.
Dave, yes the refocusing is a very nice feature, although the noise it records is a little annoying! I can't see a way of turning the noise off unfortunately.
Loachmom - yes they definitely glide, quite stealthily at times too!
