Sewellia sp.

Post by bullisbm » Tue Jan 22, 2008 8:48 pm

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a place online that is selling these guys in the US? None of the LFS seem to have them and can't seem to get them.

Thanks,
Bret

Is it Sewellia lineolata that you are after, or Sewellia sp. 'spotted'? If the former, Frank has definitely had them in in the past. However, if the latter, then at the moment, finding them will be difficult as there have only ever been 1 or 2 shipments and the one supplier I know of who had people collecting them have stopped doing so. Sometimes they come in as a by-catch of S. lineolata though, so keep an eye out.

It is Sewellia sp. 'spotted' that I want. I found a wholesaler that does some retail and they will add me to thier (if we find them) list.

I have lineolata and they are fat and happy and have had a few little ones.

I didn't have this problem until the loaches assimulated me. Must have more beautiful hillies!
