| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:Will not harm or bother other fish but can be semi-aggressive towards its own kind. Provide plenty of space for grazing and they should cohabit however. Do not keep with larger fish that may eat it! | |
| − | + | |diet=:Eats [[algae]] and the micro organisms that live in it. Will take [[Flake Food|flake]], [[algae wafers]], [[shrimp pellets]] and [[bloodworms]]. | |

| − | :Very difficult to sex, during breeding it is possible that males have more vivid colouration. | + | |environment_specifics=:'''Absolutely''' requires very fast current and high oxygen levels at low aquarium temperatures {{C|18|24}}. This isn't considered a fragile fish because so many ignore these requirements. It is highly recommended that one read and apply Martin Thoene's profile and [http://www.loaches.com river tank article] before considering this fish (See link below). Has very slow growth rate in captivity. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:Can be semi aggressive to conspecifics and other bottom/glass dwellers, but plenty of grazing areas allows for multiple Hillstreams. Does not mind other fish. | |

:The Hillstream Loach is normally classified as a bottom feeder, but typically spends most of its time on the glass unless it is provided rocks and smooth surfaces to graze upon. | :The Hillstream Loach is normally classified as a bottom feeder, but typically spends most of its time on the glass unless it is provided rocks and smooth surfaces to graze upon. | ||
:*Note it has been shown that a number of Hillstream loaches climb out of the water to try to explore new rock pools in fast moving streams. So ensure your tank has a tight fitting lid on it!<ref>[http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/pages/item.php?news=1970 PFK article] - Hillstream loach migrates by leaving the water.

| − | + | |identification=:A flat bellied fish with very low profile, the Hillstream loach's body type is clearly built for fast water. Its yellow-brown body appears covered in black polka dots. Dorsal and anal fins are transparent with opaque stripes. | |
