The kind of fish is named sewellia lineolata. It's a algae eater. He is sucting itself at the front glass. Using his fins. If there no enough algae present, he eat also the algae at the leaves of higher water plants

I would like show You my fishes, I still have

Yes I still live. No longer 75, but 83. I'm a widow. But I still have fish and aquatic plants. Might post something sometime.

Thank You for birthday greetings. I'm surprised, you all haven't not forgotten me. Much things are been happen between. Nothing is more as before. The whole world is very crazy. But we are fish friends. Something special, I think.

The TUNZE flow pump that I have with the Sewellia is a great advantage. Also for the aquatic plants. I'll put another one in another tank. At the panda garrras

I am busy with my Sewellia lineolata. Since I started the flow pump there are more fry every day.

Every now and then 2 or 3 juvenile sewellia fish appear. Different size. It was correct to use the flow pump. They make a small foam nest in the vegetation on the surface. There is little to read about it.

You are back? I'm surprised. I'm happy. I checked in often but rarely posted. When there is enough response.

When plants have all the nutrients they are stronger and algae are displaced. The most important nutrient is carbon. If too little, the algae predominate. To technology I stood in the same place. I looked in the shop at the apparatus. I am not afraid of technology. But I would have needed a...

TUNZE Turbelle Nanostream 615. I had no problems with algae before either. The vegetation is strong. I make sure all the nutrients are there. Today, Wednesday, the pool was cleaned. It is noticeable that the water is clearer. There are fewer duckweed. The surface is free. There is no more...

Here the young fish. Since I got the flow pump, the fish are all very lively. Also the Plecos. At first they always sat tucked away in the corners. Now they are operating at the front. Fish that cling may need a current.

The little ones are shy. They hold on to the stones. (I have set a Turbelle). Difficult to photograph. But it later still works. If the A. ulvaceus completely withdraws into the tuber. Then is more light

I've noticed juvenile fry in my 25 gallon from these fin suckers. sewellia-lineolata This is a jungle and is overcrowded with shrimp. I cut down the plants and removed a lot of shrimp. When it has calmed down a bit, a picture can be taken again. I will arrange a flow pump. There is more...

It is better when you are on vacation to leave the pumps and lights (with timer) switched on. Feed is not so necessary.

As promised. Here the new design. With LED.

I had tried different LEDs. But now I found a module, very bright (100 lumens), very low current (0.1 A) and low temperature. 12 volts. 20 such modules are brighter than my two tubes. But it's very white. 6500 Kelvin. But there are also some modules in the colors blue and red. Maybe I have...

Many years ago it was a good solution with the two fluorescent tubes above both aquariums. And the tub lamp waterproof (for garage). But now there is better technology. LED. Less electricity, brighter light. Little warmth. Longer shelf life. Now I have to change it.

I'm busy modifying my lighting. The high lamp box should be lower (10cm). The two fluorescent tubes (each 32 watts) are replaced by LED modules. (20 pieces 24 watts). It gets more bright. In summer these can be connected to the photovoltaic network. The modules are 6500 Kelvin. Very white. Maybe...

I am delighted that someone is dealing with these beautiful fish. Look at the link. For a few years we had three species in the region: Guentheri, Rachovi and Palmquisti. I bred Guentheri and Rachovi for a while. It's problematic. The transition to the new breeder. It has to be done quickly. The...

It is likely Nothobranchius guentheri. Killifish from East Africa. This is the color you would need to breed. Do you have females for this? Small basin, 6 cm peat fibers on the bottom. They dig in while spawning. Win the Grains! The lifespan of the parents is only less than a year. Because of...

Thank You for the info. I have had bee shrimp since September. There were 20 pieces. Now there are 4 left. But others have emerged that look different. Mostly white and natural gray, but also a little red and some brown. There are also smaller ones that were probably created recently. There are...

I see you grow bee shrimp. I would like to ask something. When young bee shrimp appear, when do they get their parents' colors?

I had them many years ago. From an old breeder. In the 70s. Very good quality. (this is important). They reproduced in normal tap water. I sold them all. In 18 I tried again. I used very acidic water. pH 5. Ground gravel, approx. 6mm. I won some young fish. Not much. When it gets warmer, I'll...
