Another Hillstream Loach...

[sunkenmetal]

So when I ordered My Rhinos and panda loaches I ordered another species of Hillstream loach. I am pretty sure it is this one I'm not 100% sure but it looks like it. Will post pictures once everyone is settled in.

I just need to compile a list of "Hillstream Loaches"

Man, you should write the wiki on these guys, or at least the Cliff notes

Pretty cool fish. People are going to see your loaches and want them...

Well these loaches aren't to bright. Last night one was hanging out inside my MP40 lol He survived he was just hanging out. I put the foam pre filter on lol. Then about an hour later I am standing there and one jumps out of the tank. I rush to pick it up but one of my dogs got it first lol. good think they are cheap...

Sounds like you found a perfect match for yourself.

Pretty much make sure you close the valves when un hooking your eheim...

slightly OT, how much were you paying for the reticulated HSL that you had? They had some nice ones at fish r us that i am thinking on. although i dont have a stream tank, i do have high flow in them (over 10x WC/hr)

12 plus shipping

they had some pretty nice ones at fish r us for 14 i think, i may try a few

it was 10 or twelve can't remember. What species are they?

[Totenkampf]

they look like Sewellia lineolota to me and thats what he is selling them as. they are 1.25-1.5 inches in length which is pretty large from what i have seen around town previously.
