Finally got my dream loach!!!

[Jody]

Nice find

I have a few they cost me around 15 bucks each, They do love fast moving water a added a power head to my tank after i got them and they went right up into the flow and stuck onto the glass they also like higher oxygen levels in the water

Have fun

Very nice!! Cute lil guys.

Cool! Looks like male on the right and female on the left?

No clue but that would be nice

These weren't quite that much. They are in a 20 gallon long with an aquaclear 50 filter hanging on the left side, below that to the right is a Koralia nano and below that and to the left is another Koralia nano so there is quite a bit of flow.

This is about as good as I an get of the top of them, anyone willing to wager a guess on sex?

There are a few ways to sex them. I'm looking at the very different slope on their "shoulders." You might want to do a google search about sexing them to look at some of the other ways to distinguish to support what I saw in that pic, but I bet that's what you have!
They breed pretty readily! Good luck!

(Edit: That new pic doesn't help me much. Take a look here and see if it helps: http://www.loaches.com/species-index/sewellia-lineolata

That was my guess too, Aaron! I've read they're not too hard to spawn, go petluvr!

I have looked at this and it does appear that I may have a male/female pair, however their color is a bit dark for female from what I am seeing.

no clue how to sex them but they look nice.

Thanks Mg, it has to do with the shape of their "wings" the males are more blunt with the females being more rounded. There are a few other ways that I have read but this seems to be the most standard. I wish now I had gotten a few more, but it was a 4 hour drive back and I was willing to lose $21.00 but no more
