Overview

Reticulated Hillstream Loaches have a flattened body and intricate markings, adapted to grazing stones in flowing water. Supplied size: 2.5–3cm. Size at sale is not adult size.

Behaviour

A specialised stream-dwelling loach that clings to stones and grazes biofilm. Individuals may defend feeding patches.

Tank Size

We recommend a mature aquarium at least 90cm long for a small group, with strong circulation, excellent oxygenation and many smooth, algae-covered stones.

Compatibility

Choose peaceful fish suited to flowing, cooler water. It is unsuitable for a warm, still-water betta setup.

Diet

Provide established biofilm plus suitable sinking foods and small frozen invertebrates. Confirm each fish feeds; a newly set-up spotless tank will not provide enough grazing.

Care

Aim for the low 20s°C, around 20–24°C, with stable pH around 6.5–7.5. Maintain high oxygen levels and keep the filter and substrate clean. Use a fully cycled aquarium. Check appetite, breathing and equipment daily; test water regularly and keep ammonia and nitrite at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned, temperature-matched water and clean filter media in removed aquarium water.

Click & Collect only: order online and wait for confirmation before collecting from Newlands Home & Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. We do not ship live animals.
