    What a beautiful tank setup. It looks like what it’s supposed to look like “a river”, almost like you carved it out of nature and put it in a small tank. I guess that’s why they thrive in the tank and breed. Plus I love the documentary style of the videos. I love the documentary style of your recent videos and obviously also they old style where we learn how to care for and breed fish

    Have bred hundreds of Sewellia Lineolata and also Sewellia Albisuera. My advice is to keep the water as clean as possible, do regulary fresh cold water changes and give them space to do their mating dance like a big flat stone or an open sandy space. Ofcourse be very careful with waterchanges because the young fish are very fragile. An other thing I noticed is when the fish are still in the juvenile form, they are very vulnerable for stress. That is why I always waited to move them to others untill they had the flat form. An other breeder had the same experience.

      Same here, I am a hillstream loach enthusiast and I scrolled past this multiple times because of the title. I didnt look closely at the picture because it says “stingray” in the thumbnail and I’m not interested in those. Wasn’t until my fifth or sixth time it came up in recommended that I realized it’s actually loaches. If it would have been titled properly, I would have watched it right away.

    Hi Nick, your awesome video inspired me to replicate your project. So I prepared a tank much like yours in the video & in September last year I ordered some HSL's from you. As they were pretty young I basically just set and forgot them, not expecting much to happen for a while. I would check in on them from time to time, just to make sure they were still there as they spend a lot of time under the rocks. Imagine my surprise the other day when I caught a very brief flash of something small dart between some rocks. I thought it may have been some of the local shrimp(NQ algae Shrimp) I have in there with them, but on patiently waiting I was able to pick out at least a dozen very small HSL's. I'm absolutely ecstatic and just wanted to share this with you, thank you.

    Great video Nick! these have had a soft spot for me after keeping and breeding them many years ago, when I first saw them in a shop I was amazed with them, they are definitely a oddity in our fish community and I first thought the same thing and told my kids they are like mini stingrays, seeing you keep and breed them in the shop has been awesome and you have bred so many in such a short time, I had the same type of setup but I used a powerhead, thinking back I may of went wrong with that and the sponge filter may be the way to go, I may have sucked up eggs, now that they have exploded it may be a good time to move the large ones to another aquarium otherwise the young ones might eat the eggs as well, another great video Thanks for sharing 🙂
