    hi, anyone here keeping hillstream loach?

    think they look quite unique, and read that they're good algae eaters - on the glass, at least.

    are they difficult to keep? hardier than otos?

    are there different types? which's better?

    tks!

    several kinds
    sorry no name here
    not all are algae eaters
    some are pure carnivores

    they dont have sucker mouths like pleco
    although it looks like they do

    they have modified pectoral fins that allow them to attach to leaves, rocks etc in fast flowing and clean streams.

    yeah, saw some at rainbow, some kept with kuhli loaches, selling at $2, rest with some other fishes and with different patterns but not sure how much $...

    ben/tiongbahru also had some the other day, said will eat algae on glass.

    these cute fish make me wonder if i can keep a couple without having same problem as with otos (like migrating fish, came in, eat all algae then go to fish heaven after 2 months!)[:]

    tks, isz!
