It did however stress my corys so much that it killed three of them. Crazy stuff
Hillstream loach (Sewellia Sp.) are territorial by nature and really best kept in groups. ;)

Ironically, I seen two of these having a good scrap in the fish shop yesterday. I didn't know of it before, or much about them before. Never looked twice, not sure why. They look like they should be my cup of tea.

Hard to see, but the pectoral fins on one of them are trashed.

These guys have finally started eating their veggies now. They've both been pigs for the big bites granules I put in, but I've seen both on courgette today. I think these guys are seriously cool. Hard to see their colour properly but it's a khaki green. I've never seen a Bristlenose like them before.
