Thanks Emma! It is saturday morning here in the states and I am up observing my new friends. Everyone now has their own slice of turf and doing loachy little stuff. Sewellia are amazing animals. I swear they see you looking in and either hide or put on a little show. They seem to look at you and blink as if to say "morning! how bout some food" or something to that effect. I am off to the Potomac Valley Aquarium Society, All aquarium catfish convention. I have never been to a large fish thing before and I am kind of excited. I will be picking up Cory Robinae, Duplicareus, Weitzman and Loxozonus that I have ordered. I am going to look for a female Incolicana because my male inco "patrick swayzee" is looking lonley and needs to teach someone new to dance.

I'm glad they are doing well. How do the Sewellia and confuzona get along? That is certainly a combo I would love to try.
Enjoy the PVAS Catfish Convention. I heard that it's a fantastic show. That club has a great bunch of people.
You might ask the PVAS members about the "loach guy" they had speak at their fall meeting last October. :wink:

I have two Aquaclear 70 HOB, Two Aquaclear 30 powerheads, one Fluval 405, and a small magdrive pump, All together its around 19 gallons per minute. So I am turning the volume over almost once a minute. I am trying to achieve the same thing in the new 150 gallon tank. I have a recirc pump that can do 45-65 gpm depending on npsh and psi. A fluval 405, 305, the two aquaclear 70s and another mag drive I am going to use to circulate through a UV light that does around 25 gpm. You are the guy I meet at Tonys?
