My local Maidenhead Aquatics (Aston) are selling what they tell me are captive bred Sewellia lineolata. Is this common?
I picked up two for my tank as I'm running a Asian stream biotope. They are living with 8 White Cloud Mountain Minnows at the moment in a 100L tank. I have read a lot about them but what do people recommend for food? I've picked up some JBL NOVO tabs which seem to be the right type of thing, but just wondered if others feed with similar food?
Captive bred Hillstream loaches common?

Sewellia seem to be the easiest to breed hillstrems,
Many who regularly post here have had them breed.
They eat a variety of foods including frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp, pelleted foods and par-boiled spinach leaves. They also like to graze on algae. Check out the profile on this species and other information on keeping and breeding hillstreams found on this site.
