They have Settled in so-wellia, that my pictures are not my best, to say the least. Any-hows! Here we are.

Any observations as yet regarding interaction with S. Lineolata, or any major simularities/differences between the two species?

No problems to report. S. lineolata are mixing well with them. At first the spotted Sewellia where quite boisterous with all, but all has calmed. The Sewellis sp seems to be less visible than it's cousins now. Feet well under the table!

My spotted Sewellia are all well hidden within the tank, with the S. lineolata more or less all visible.

I got a couple of pictures of the Sewellias today, which I thought I'd share. The 'Spotties' seem to be getting on fine with the S. lineolatas, quite often they all congregate together, with just the very occasional minor scuffle.

Heres one of each, together on the side glass:

And a close-up of the mouth parts of one of the Spotted chaps:

How's yours getting on together Graeme?

Mine are mixing well together, thanks Emma. The 'spotties' seem to spend most of the time at the back wall of the tank. Perhaps so they can see me and feel more secure. The odd time i've witnessed them on the front glass but this is when tank lights are out. :D

Great pictures! :D I need to try and capture more piccy's.
