WOW
Stunning photos Emma.
It really is amazing how different the rate of development is between the 2 species of Sewellia, and the pattern change from fry to adult is also amazing. I have a feeling that these photos are going to prove to be an invaluable resource in the future

Would it really be a bad pun to say that this fish knocks "spots" off many L-number Plecs?
Fabulous pix Ms. Turner.

I agree. Do not stop posting photos. If you do I will be forced to start a petition that will be taken to the UN and you will be administered sanctions.....dont even think about it!

Although one of the two fish is partially obscured by the little
Cryptocoryne, I thought I would post this photo (taken today) which shows the fry from both the 1st and 2nd spawning together:
Whenever the small one gets too near the larger one, the larger one chases him away. This doesn't seem to deter the little one, who can often be seen trying to follow the larger one about!

Its amazing how quickly that larger one has grown in the last week or two. What a stunning fish! Too bad they don't keep those marbled markings into adulthood.

Indeed it is interesting to note the morphology of this species. As was earlier pointed out, it is interesting especially to observe the rate at which the fry from the first spawning has grown. Did you notice such a growth spurt with the lineolata fry as well?
Keep em coming!

Yeah, most changes seem to come about early on, so I'm glad I've been taking plenty of pictures (of the fry of both species).
