All About Hillstream Loaches: Fascinating Nano Algae Eaters

Hillstream loaches are undeniably a very popular option for smaller aquaria for people looking for a fish that will remove some of the algae build-up. Not quite classed as a nano fish as length for a big female, hillstream loaches are still easy small enough to be accommodated in the majority of tanks; they just have a few requirements in their set up. This video looks at tank design and decor, pH and Temperature and tankmates for this delightful species. My favourite fishy stuff! (yes these are affiliate links :) ) Lights Nicrew Classic LED - - Traditional led light that’s got a nice high output in a white/cool colour range. Makes plants look extra green.
