Answer 1

Hillstream Loaches are sub-tropical, not true tropical, preferring highly oxygenated low-end tropical tanks with a strong current - not suitable for many common tropical fish. Hence their name, originating from mountain streams, similar to white cloud mountain minnows. Do not mistake them for coldwater, they prefer 18-24C.

They do eat algae and should also accept algae wafers.
