So yesterday there were 7 fry on the front glass!!! 2 or 3 are bigger; the others pretty much the same size. I wonder if there are even more from this batch...
I have a LOT of algae & a ton of plants. I will be weeding out some plants tomorrow for my club meet, but not scraping the algae, at least not the end the fry like. I have seen them at the other end but not many or often. Sometimes the adults chase them but no more aggressively than they chase each other.
The leopard danios seem oblivious to what are still likely bite sized sewellia. Maybe they just prefer flake food to live? I'm pretty sure hillstream loaches don't have eye spines like many other loaches. Maybe the "Velcro-like" fins are too chewy?
Oh & I've seen 1 of the stiphodon gobies a few times lately!
Anyway, I'm still thrilled with these fish! 7 years into my first hillstream river-ish tank, I glad moving made me try it out. I had dial up in the late 90s - 2000s & didn't have the patience to wait for all the hilly pics to load on loaches.com. NOW I get it!!
