Lexi B Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I'm trying my best to research the differences between these two species. But it seems like the main highlight when discussing care is their native origin. Would anyone be able to explain or point me to a more thorough source? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT_ Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I've been trying to figure out the same thing and am getting conflicting information on the internet. One of Cory's videos mentions that the Borneo is smaller. I'd be interested to hear what others have to say though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke O Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I'm wondering the same. LFS had "Borneo Butterfly Loaches," but I didn't see any "Hillstream Loaches." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT_ Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) what I think of as a "hillstream loach" is the kind with the "reticulated" pattern. those have spots. calling out differences between common names can be tricky too. Often many species will be under one common name or one species will have many common names. Edited February 20, 2022 by CT_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
