TravisBumpy Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Currently have three of these in my heavily planted 28 gallon tank.Awsome little fish. Was wonder if I could add the slightly larger Chinese Hilstream Loache to the mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I've seen your post floating for a few days. I didn't answer because I don't have the experience with keeping 2 different Hillstreams together. I have a loner in my Flex9 and I love the little thing. However my impression is that Hillstreams, while somewhat territorial, don't seem to be aggressive to the point of hurting each other- they do a lot of pushing and posturing. Before I got one I've watched a lot of youtube videos with them in breeder tanks (read: "overstocked") and nobody got hurt. I think they're relatively peaceful and once they determine who is in charge they'll be fine. Personally I would try it. That said, I'd probably either have a backup plan for moving them out or if that's not possible, ask the fish store before I buy them if I could bring them back (likely with no refund but worth trying) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
