Hillstream Loach

The Hillstream Loach is one of the coolest-looking algae eaters. They get along with most peaceful community fish that are similarly sized and won’t fin nip them. We’ve kept them with goldfish, livebearers, shrimp, snails, tetras, danios, and other schooling fish with no problems. In the wild, they consume small aquatic crustaceans that live at the river bottom, algae, and small organisms living on underwater surfaces.
