Bringing this oldy back to live :P I keep 9 Yasuhikotakia Sidthimunki together with 4 Beaufortia Kweichowensis and 4 Pseudogastromyzon Cheni and i can honestly say all a hillstream cares for is: did another hilly pick my favorite spot at that rock; i must chase it away I frequently spot both species...

if this had already been posted i'm sorry

Yeah sorry i meant the Sidthimunki's indeed

We have 9 Y. Sidth's (because we love em ) and they are the ultimate champions in snail control
the only snails i find are small ones hiding in the filter

well....it isn,t a hillstreamtank, it,s a community tank with a current part (Juwel Vision 180) (wishes for photocamera) on the back i put a large piece of stone upright next to the internal filter keeping 2" space where i put the airstone, this creates the "bubble torrent".

And furthermore which would be the best powerhead to use ?

you could try and put a glass jar over em and move it upwards to the edge.

To start off proper, what a great site :D I,m Michael from the Netherlands, quite a newbie in this great hobby and the very proud owner of 2 tanks, a Rekord 60 and a Vision 180 in that same Vision we (me and my girl) keep 10 Yasihukotakia Sidthimunki and 4 Beaufortia Leveretti Kweichowensis (and oth...
