Here's a couple of pictures of my Schistura cf. balteata in a Pinkish mode!

Ooooooooo pretty! What tank setup do you have them in?

Very cool!!
I was in my favorite lfs the other day and spent lots of time watching these fish. I am still tempted, but I bet they would eat any baby sewellia that might (fingers crossed) appear in that tank some day.
They absolutely went nuts when they were fed brine shrimp and bloodworms. The interaction between them and the beaufortia was interesting too. The beaufortia would chase them out of the way.

Looking good!

Thanks!

Here's a clue below, Dave. Yeah Jim, iffy additions to the Sewellia tank. Just ask Emma's fatty Schistura balteata.

Beautiful, Graeme

The Eos Boss is certainly eyeing him up in that pic!

Definitely!.........

But Emma's S. balteata is so cute, he looks like a seal.

Graeme, they are stunning! I just may have to setup another river tank... (although I think I should wait till my first one is up and running)

cool!

Very nice.

I'm jealous.

Looks good though.

Aw, thank you! You can see why I couldn't rehome them when my Sewellia started breeding can't you. Too cute, even if they are egg-guzzlers! I only have one left these days, and he/she is still a fatty.

Emma

Fattened on Sewellia eggs and fry, no doubt.
He is a cutey, none the less.

These little chaps are what i call "the kings guardsmen" The Eos just let them sit around outside his Castle! Any other species of loach that come near his domain, then........ well you know the rest. I've even seen the Eos allow then to half-way live in his Castle.

Thanks for the complements all! Lovely cute chubby face on your Schistura balteata Emma!
