About This Species
The Hillstream Loach is a fascinating freshwater fish native to fast-flowing streams in Southeast Asia. Its flattened body and specialized fins allow it to cling to rocks in strong currents. They are peaceful algae grazers that do best in well-oxygenated aquariums with good water flow and smooth river rocks. Their unique appearance and interesting behaviour make them a prized addition to community tanks.
