Well, got home from a 1 week vacation Saturday. Looking closely at the tank Sunday night, I think I see something move in a far, rear corner of the tank, under some pleco cave condos. So I get my flashlight and my cheater (reading) glasses, and lo and behold, 4 or 5 little ones, about 1/2" long each. Can you guess what they are ? I have my suspicions, but I'll see what you think ! And apologies for the picture quality; I had to hold the flashlight just right and snap the pic !!

Well, here's the story. I DO have sewellia lineolata in the tank. I also have otocinclus cocama, or zebra otto. The zebras were my first guess, based on the pattern and colors on the tail. But I can also see sewellia in them. These are more elongated than my previous sewellia spawn, which were wider up front. Here's a pic of an adult zebra otto. Please tell me what you think.

idk nut i now want zebras and whatever that cross is!
 
If it's sewellias, yes, you can have sewellia prizes. I still think they are the zebra cocama. I had sewellia fry previously, and if I remember correctly (and due to severe CRS I seldom do), these are different. So we may just have to wait and see !!
 
sewellia. pretty cool either way.
