Thanks Mick! They are very cute. I had been thinking about giving up the sewellia & friends in order to use the tank for mudskippers (no space for another tank of that size, unfortunately), but not now!

Hi guys. A couple of days ago I was surprised and very excited to find two baby s. lineolatas in my river tank. I've never had any fish successfully breed before that I'm aware of, so this is very cool, especially as s. lineolata is one of my favorite fish. Anyway, the babies are a little over half ...

Graeme - I love the look of those fish! Can I ask where you found them? I (heart) gobies.

I'm interested because I've got some sewellia and some bettas (in different tanks, that is...I think a betta would get blown around like a leaf himself if ...

That's interesting about the fish hanging upside down. My "albino ancistrus" (not quite sure that's what it is) does the same thing. He spends a lot of his time upside down on a piece of wood that I've got suctioned to the side of the tank, but sometimes switches to the ceiling of a coconut cave. (I...
