hi odyssey
thanks for the video.
about the species: speciosa and lineolata are right.
the rest ...
I'm sorry to say that, but the situation is a desaster: in the amazonas-magazine of mai/june some pictures (K. Udomritthiruj and others) and id's were presentated which complicate the situation.
1 s. elongata first presented as s breviventralis in the trade, then identified by J. Freyhof as s elongata is shown as an undescribed species
2 s. sp "spotted" is undescribed. but: in that desastrous vietname book - about 25 genus and species, "new" or redescriptions of already describbed species - this species seems to be presentated as "parasewellia". the ichthiologists seem not to have the possibility for a judgement as there is no translation and the pics seem to be bad ...
3 the species presentated here with my pics as s. sp is said not to be s. breviventralis as I suggested. the material I've sent to JF has not yet been analysed. presumed is that s breviventralis has not been in the trade yet
4 a s. sp aff elongata is presented looking much like my young s elongata shown here by pics of Thomas and me. my youngsters are now in the tank of the adult elongata and are of course of the same species
5 the s elongata from Laos shown in the article has a wonderful yellow bordering of the paired fins, it is darker but all in all it looks like the s "breviventrailis/elongata"
6 s albisurea comes in with s sp "spotted" without being recognised
so: any questions?
it could take some time to clarify the situation
after all that mess (I'm one of the authors in this wonderful hillstream-loaches special) I decided to concentrate on what I like most: breeding.
s speciosa, s sp "breviventralis", all gastromyzon, some rhinogobius, yahusikotakia lineata, nannostomus mortethaleri, y brevis, y sp orange, barbucca diabolica and some more are on the list. so there is work to do
cheers Charles

Hi all.
The 2nd Sewellia sp is sold as the "python pattern" of the Sewellia sp Laotian origin in Japan.
Sewellia that are fighting really is 2 with the "python pattern" in the video.
S.lineolata and S.sp (spotted) are only excited to see the "python pattern" fighting, and they seem to participate.

Great pics, farid!!
I think this is a great way to compare and identify the species. This is especially important because, often, when you see them in stores, they are stuck to the glass and all you can see is the underside.
When I do my presentation on hillstream loaches for aquarium clubs, I like to include pics of the underside of the fish, for that reason.
