Hillstream loach (Sewellia Sp.) are territorial by nature and really best kept in groups.FishBubs wrote: Mon Nov 25, 2024 13:12 pm The worst fish i have ever seen for aggression believe it or not was a hillstream loach. Man this thing would zoom about the tank targetting corydoras and latch onto them something chronic, it was swiftly removed from the tank and taken back to lfs. It did however stress my corys so much that it killed three of them. Crazy stuff

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.FishBubs wrote: Mon Nov 25, 2024 13:12 pm The worst fish i have ever seen for aggression believe it or not was a hillstream loach.

I have seen worse. Thankfully, they will recover.

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.
