It is known for its beautiful coloration, its peaceful yet outgoing demeanor, and its fascinating social behavior with members of its own (and similar) species. This fascinating, peaceful fish is an algae and biofilm grazer that is an excellent candidate for the mature subtropical aquarium. \u003cstrong data-end=\"885\" data-start=\"700\"\u003eIn addition to our wild-caught specimens, Aquatic Arts also offers tank-bred Reticulated Hillstream Loaches, giving aquarists a sustainable choice with the same beauty and behavior. These are young specimens.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1267\" data-start=\"889\"\u003eAn aquarium with heavy water flow (10–15x turnover per hour) and very clean, clear water is required for the Reticulated Hillstream Loach. Like the well-known hillstream loaches, this loach is native to shallow, clear, fast-flowing waters and it is sensitive to declines in water quality, so regular aquarium maintenance and maximum oxygen saturation are absolutely necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2103\" data-start=\"1269\"\u003eThe Reticulated Hillstream Loach is primarily a biofilm and algae grazer in nature. It is known to usually accept frozen meaty foods, but such foods should only be fed occasionally. This fish will also sometimes accept high-quality dry foods that are rich in plant matter, but it is absolutely essential that biofilm and algae are naturally available in the aquarium to ensure its long-term health or else it may slowly starve. As long as it is kept in a well-maintained, mature aquarium with good biofilm and algae growth as well as high water flow, the Reticulated Hillstream Loach is a hardy and entertaining fish. It will not bother aquarium plants. In fact, Anubias species are an excellent plant to keep with this loach because Anubias can foster significant biofilm\/algae growth in an aquarium with moderate to high lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2958\" data-start=\"2105\"\u003eThe Reticulated Hillstream Loach is a very social species, so it should be kept in groups of 6 or more. Most small rasboras, tetras, hillstream loaches, and other small, peaceful fish are good tankmates for the Reticulated Hillstream Loach, although this species can sometimes bully other hillstream loaches in smaller aquariums. Since they inhabit similar waterways, many smaller freshwater goby species are ideal tankmates as well. Due to its small size and diet, the Reticulated Hillstream Loach can also be kept with dwarf shrimp, although it might eat a few of their fry. Dwarf shrimp are particularly good tankmates in larger aquariums where they can find areas of lower water flow. Other peaceful bottom-dwelling fish are also a possibility, but care must be taken to make sure that the Reticulated Hillstream Loach is not outcompeted for food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt; data-end=\"2963\" data-start=\"2960\"\u0026gt;\n\u003cp data-end=\"3202\" data-start=\"2965\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3202\" data-start=\"2965\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2998\" data-start=\"2965\"\u003eWhat We Like About This Fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"3001\" data-start=\"2998\"\u003e• Beautiful coloration\u003cbr data-end=\"3026\" data-start=\"3023\"\u003e• Generally peaceful disposition with fish and peaceful invertebrates\u003cbr data-end=\"3098\" data-start=\"3095\"\u003e• Interesting, active social behavior when kept in colonies\u003cbr data-end=\"3160\" data-start=\"3157\"\u003e• Generally safe with adult dwarf shrimp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt; data-end=\"3207\" data-start=\"3204\"\u0026gt;\n\u003cp data-end=\"3456\" data-start=\"3209\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3456\" data-start=\"3209\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3241\" data-start=\"3209\"\u003eRECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"3244\" data-start=\"3241\"\u003eTemperature: 68° – 75° F (20° – 23.9° C).
