My rivertank.
Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2009 4:31 pm
Bought a 280 l tank dirt cheap and decided to turn it into a rivertank. got 2 2000 l/h powerheads and some PVC tubing. After some glue mishaps and head scratching I had myself a rivertank setup.
After a few months of waiting for the algae to start growing I started chasing down the fish I wanted. I already had some zebra loaches, so I talked to my LFS and the owner said he would help me. Best part is I got the fish for the same price that he buys them for from his wholesaler=really cheap!
I love Schistura and they had some nice Schistura cf. balteata so I ordered 5 to begin with along with 5 Sewellia lineolata.
Got them yesterday and they seem to love their new home.
Sewellia lineolata and Botia striata
Schistura cf. balteata . I've seen photos of yellow versions but the wholesaler had only the pink ones. Is this common? I really want some yellow ones too.
In the future I'll probably get some more Sewellia lineolata/Sewellia sp., yellow Schistura cf. balteata and perhaps danios of some kind.
