Any LFS selling Sewellia lineolata (Vietnamese hillstream loach)?

Hi all

I happen to see the pic of Sewellia lineolata in the net and I am wondering if there is any LFS selling it.

Cheers

Why on the net but not in AQ?

When this fish was just rediscovered, shipments have been rare. But I have seen them popping up quite frequently in C328, so that would be your best bet. However, I am not sure if they are available recently, so let's see if anyone elsecan confirm.

Do read up on their requirements before getting the fish though, they prefer fast flowing current.

I've seen them at Petmart about 2 weeks back as well.
They are getting quite common recently.

As mentioned by Quixotic, do take note of their special needs if you are preparing to keep them for a long time.
