  • Sloped river tank (Hillstream aquarium) got new fish. I added Hillstream loach (Sewellia lineolata). These stingray looking fish are perfect for a river setup like this one. I also added a Bamboo shrimp that is in my care for 2 years. Rainbow shiner and White cloud minnows are doing fine.

    Really cool fish! However if you want to see them active and happy you need more flow.

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  Před 9 měsíci +2

      Thanks. I am well aware of it. Unfortunately this is the maximum flow of this filter and I don't have money for a new one. I could add a stream pump (wavemaker) but because of the big slope there is no space on the left side of the aquarium and the pump would be almost out of the water. In my previous version of Hillstream (Algaescpe) I had more flow because the aquarium was also shorter and you are correct; they were more active.

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  Před 9 měsíci +3

      I guess around 3 months but it was summer and hot and actually still is. It's almost November and it is 24C today. I will give them more time. Hopefully I will see some breeding action when the temperature drops or maybe after the winter when the temperature starts rising slowly. I added even bigger rocks to that aquarium. Now it is just a waiting game. I am still feeding them a lot of baby brine, frozen bloodworms, repashy gel and spirulina tabs. Let's see...

      It is too hot for this time of the year. Day time 24-26C and night time 17C. It is almost November and I was at the beach a couple of days ago. The only good thing is I still didn't turn the heater in the fish room and all the aquarium heaters are above their set temperatures.

    @salsakrs Před 9 měsíci +2

    Sewellias are actually quite social, so you should go for a group size of 6 individuals. You should also create more hiding space by stapling flat stones.

    Beautiful setup. Are you concerned at all about the hillstream loaches jumping out? I very much want them in my take but without a lid am hesitant.

      They eat all the food I drop in. Dry food, frozen food and live baby brine shrimp. Only now a couple of months later algae started to develop so they can also munch on algae and biofilm.
