I've got Martin's River Tank Manifold plan tweaked to suit my 55 gallon. I think hillstreams would be very comfortable in this tank, and I'm excited by the idea that they might breed. What fish should I get and from where?

Sewellia lineolata is a good choice.
Very easy to breed and not very demanding.
Sewellia sp. Spotted is also not difficult to breed but he tends to be shy.
A small group of at least five pieces is advantageous.

S. lineolata youngsters

Wow Menu, those little fishies look great! Do you have any tips or favorite resources on breeding the S. lineolata?

My present Pseudogastromyzon cheni are something like 4th or 5th generation. I haven't bought any in years.

Thanks, Martin!

In addition to the above listed species, Liniparhomaloptera disparis is another easy to breed species. The main problem is just finding them.
