TravisBumpy Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Finally got one of my hillstream loaches. They are shy little buggers. They make you work to get a photo. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJs Aquatics Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Hmm, I hadn’t even researched it, just set up the tank a while ago and when the LFS had some “hillstream loaches” I bought a group with hopes of breeding, that’s crazy, that would explain things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the blue tail, very unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJs Aquatics Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 @nabokovfan87 hopefully I can fatten them up and get them to breed, and at least now I’ll be able to correctly identify them, thank you, I gotta look and see if they are all like that or not now or if they are multiple hillstream species, they hide so much, super cool though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them some cover and they'll probably hang out there or on the back glass by the filter input/output. They tend to be most active right before or just after the lights come on or right after they go out. They aren't really nocturnal, but it all depends on the setup. best of luck! Rachel has a ton of videos on hillstream species and loaches in particular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
