Re: Discovering the diversity of hillstream loaches (with pictures)
I only have 3 lineolata, but a bunch of smaller Hillstreams that fit the same general body style... the lizards, though, are my first real departure from that traditional look. I mean, you'd think they'd all be Gastromyzon something, but the lizards and Saddled Hillstreams seem to be a different ...

Re: Discovering the diversity of hillstream loaches (with pictures)
I've been thinking about the temperature requirements for these Hillstreams, and from what I've gathered, they're cooler water species. The other fish in my tank are similar, so I've got my thermostat set to the low 70's, just to be safe. Since my tanks are in the basement, I prefer to run a heater ...

Re: Discovering the diversity of hillstream loaches (with pictures)
I've got 5 Pandas in this tank, and they're living the same lifestyle as the others. One of them actually photobombed its way into the picture of my Vietnamese Tiger - that's my tank, by the way, since I couldn't find any pics online of a Tiger. And if you look closely, you'll also see one of my ...

Re: Discovering the diversity of hillstream loaches (with pictures)
I think BadgersSong has some of these in his tanks, probably has a few varieties, right?

Discovering the diversity of hillstream loaches (with pictures)
It makes sense when you think about it - these are basically the Asian equivalent of Plecos, and since there aren't any wild Plecos in Asia, they fill that void. How many varieties of Plecos are there anyway?
I started adding them to my Asian tank early on, and I thought there were only 4-5 ...

Is my fish sick or just behaving strangely?
I've got a pair of 3 inch Angel fish, and I'm really attached to them... this morning, I could only spot one of them before I left for work. You know those fish traps they use on survival shows? The ones where the fish just need to swim out of the hole to escape? Yeah, something like that happened ...

Re: issues with fish food quality
if the fish will eat them... some of the better feeds available have bug larvae in them, & quite a few fish eat bugs in the wild

Re: discovering the charm of marimo moss balls
They're still available, just seems like they're getting smaller in size. I actually needed a bunch for a topiary, so that was a bit of a bummer. Found some on Amazon though - https://www.amazon.com/Medium-Marim...p ... 142&sr=1-2
