Hello fellow Arizonian!

I am SUPER jealous!

I'm in also in Arizona but North Phoenix.

I fed the little ones cucumber for the first time. They, along with the shrimp and snails seems to really enjoy it. It was so cute to watch them nom on it!

Welcome to the forum! I am also new here.

I just bought these and used them to bond rocks together for my aquarium. I got them on Amazon.

That was my thought exactly. Hoover is the big one, Kirby is the medium one and Dyson is the small one. It was Kirby that I really questioned because he was very light in color the first day I got him. I did read that they could be more pale when stressed. He is still much different looking than the other two though.

Thank you!

I did get some pictures and videos. It is not great quality but all three of them came out in front of the tank so I was able to get some with them right next to each other. Meet Hoover, Kirby and Dyson. I am already in love with these little guys. They are so fun to watch!

Fantastic link! Thank you!

I appreciate the links. I saw this on the page of the link you posted for the Hillstream Loach. I am thinking my confusion stems from people using the term "Borneo suckers" and "Borneo Loach" interchangeably when referring to the Hillstream loaches on some of the sites I visited. That clears it up for me. Thanks!

What a cool adventure! I'm really enjoying all of the pictures you are sharing.

Are Reticulated Hillstream Loaches and Borneo loaches basically the same fish family, just differently patterned? I searched but found all kinds of different answers and am now more confused than when I started searching 🤔. My tank finished cycling so last night I went to a LFS to buy 3 Reticulated Hillstream Loaches. Upon getting them home, I noticed that one of them looks slightly different. The Reticulated Hillstream loaches were in a tank with Borneo Loaches and I'm wondering if the kid gave me the wrong fish. I don't have pictures yet. I had to travel 45 minutes home and the kid had trouble catching the poor little guys so they were quite stressed. When I got home, I floated them in the bag for 20 minutes, put them in the tank and turned off my lights to give them time to acclimate. I still have the lights off so can't take pictures yet. I'm just curious, not really concerned.

Hello from Arizona. I'm a noob. I have always wanted to have a couple of Black Moor Goldfish, so I have taken the plunge into this hobby. I have spent the last several months reading and watching tons of videos on how to get started. I'm currently on week 3 of cycling a fishless, planted, 37 gallon aquarium. I have fallen in love with Aquarium Co-op and am now addicted to the wealth of knowledge that is Cory. I didn't even know this forum existed until a few minutes ago. I thought I would join and say hello. I just redesigned my aquarium landscape so it is a little cloudy in the picture.
