I hadn't thought of that, but you are right, Kitishane:lol:
Emma; those are fantastic shots as usual! The spotted sewellia fry certainly seem to grow at a different rate than the S. lineolata. It seems that the pattern changes faster on the spotted guys, but the body shape changes faster in lineolata. Also, that is one fat spotted sewellia. It is obviously well cared for.

Thank you all for the lovely comments!
Mark - you've made a very good choice, my friend! Incidentally, I got a new batch in from Vietnam last Tuesday, so there should be over 40 adult specimens for you to choose from! And of course, you must take some fry from me when they are big enough. And LES..too if he ever manages to get those pumps from Tunze and gets the tank going!

Those are just wonderful pictures Emma, I would love to get some spotties in the new tank once it gets set up.
I have been promised that the phone lines to Tunze are being burned by irate stockists and that the shipment will be there next week (although i was also promised that it would arrive in the first two weeks of January, i should have asked which year...). A nice guesture of a complimentry 4kg bag of marine salt for the wait has been made, nice but not really useful too me. Hopefully we will have a tank set up ready for a spring visit to your shop.
Please keep the pictures coming, they keep getting better.

Quick update 14-01-06. Not going to be around for a couple of days, so I have got a couple of pics and vids to share with you of the tiny fry from the 2nd spawning. I've tried to get pics of the larger one, but he/she is nowhere to be seen today - probably practising it's clinging skills somewhere round the back of the tank.
Here's a couple of still pics of the tiny one:
And here's a couple of vids. Please turn the sound down/off otherwise you'll just hear the annoying sound of my camera trying to re-focus!

These videos show the fry of the Sewellia sp. 'spotted' at a much smaller size than my previous vid featured earlier on in this thread. This fry is 6mm TL.
Hope you enjoyed them,
Emma

Thank you once again for all the nice comments!
I hope I'm not getting on everyone's nerves by posting these pictures every few days! These Sewellia sp. spotted fry are of just the most amazing colour and markings, which seem to be changing very rapidly.
Here are a few pics I took last Sunday (14th) before I was away for a couple of days and didn't get time to upload until now:
Look left
Look right
Shown here with a similar sized S. lineolata fry
Then today (20/01), I managed to capture these few shots that are a bit closer up and show more detail:
I can't stop watching these incredible fish! They have such a high 'cuteness factor'.
I also must mention that while it is still appearing to cling to the odd surface here and there, it is yet to get onto the aquarium glass, hence why there are no underside pics!
