Hillstream Loach Sale! 20% Off!!
Volker’s Aquarium is excited to announce our Hillstream Loach sale. The sale will will run from October 13th-26th. Hurry in limited quantities!
The reticulated hillstream loach, is a fascinating freshwater fish native to the streams and rivers of Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand and parts of Malaysia.
A few key points:
* They typically have a mottled pattern of brown, green, and black, which helps them blend into their rocky riverbed habitats.
* These fish have a flattened body, which is adapted for life in fast-flowing waters. Their streamlined shape helps them navigate strong currents.
* Hillstream loaches thrive in clean, well-oxygenated streams with rocky substrates. They prefer cooler water temperatures and are often found in areas with plenty of hiding spots.
* They are peaceful and social fish, often seen in small groups. They can be shy, so providing plenty of cover in an aquarium is essential.
* A well-filtered tank with a strong current, lots of rocks, and plants mimicking their natural habitat is ideal.
* These fish grow to a maximum size of about 2.5 inches and due to their activity level, a minimum tank size of 20 gallons is recommended.
* They thrive on a diet of high-quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, bloodworm, small invertebrates, and daphnia.
* They can be kept with other peaceful fish that enjoy similar water conditions, but it's best to avoid aggressive or overly active species.
Overall, reticulated hillstream loaches are a unique addition to a freshwater aquarium, offering both visual appeal and interesting behaviour.
