Zev Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 A wee Sewellia lineolata or Spotty Stripey as Miss Eight calls it. There is only one as far as I (and my daughter can see) sat there for ages to see if there were more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiplymouth Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Awesome You must have their conditions just right. How do you have the tank set up. P.S. Your plant has really taken off now that its getting a bit more light and Ive even been able to divide it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Wow! Nice tank, I have been wanting to do something like that for ages. I am so inspired. Congrats on the baby, what a great accomplishment to have provided such good conditions for spawning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 P.S. Your plant has really taken off now that its getting a bit more light and Ive even been able to divide it Great news about the plant Hans, mine is covered with dark algae at the moment :evil: Not Hans I like the tank Zev, when/if I find a free tank this seems like an awesome idea.

Zev Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 If I had the time and space I would re do it in a three foot tank, have a lower water level and emersed and submersed crypts on a riverbank type thing along the length of the tank. When I look at the little fish it looks very Loach-like with the pinched nose and whiskers (yes, I know they are not whiskers) and flat nosed like it's parents.

Zev Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I will not accept 10 photos of the same fish for a registered Breeding. Gah - spoilsport! I know PhotoShop... Actually I am just pleased they like the tank! must-top-up-water! Nope, like it that low, otherwise I have to have the return for the UGF out of the top of the tank to get aeration, then it splatters everywhere.
