My 20L Rivertank

Post by plaalye » Sun Jun 01, 2008 12:47 pm

Hi folks! Here's some pics of the tank I set up a few months ago with help from the forum members, thanks again :D
It's has a manifold with one AC 802 and 2 sponge intakes, and an AC 50 HOB for filtration. Plenty of current. I'm still tweeking it much to the dismay of the inhabitants, want to get some more plants in but the current is so strong it can be difficult to position them. Fish love the current and constantly jockey for position.Image

Notice the blue spot on the head of the stellatus(I think it's a stellatus?)

would you agree that this is a male and female sewellia?

it looks great, the fish tell you wether they like it or not and that Sewelia gives it the thumbs up.

That's a great looking tank!
That does look like a male and female sewellia to me. They are extremely well marked specimens too. Lets hope they hit it off well and give you lots of little ones.

That is a nice setup. I would agree with Jim that looks like a male and female to me. Hopefully you will get lots of little hillies.
