Suggestion On A Hill-Stream Tank?

Post by mack » Sun Sep 14, 2008 6:07 pm

Hi,
I am going to set up a Hill-Stream Tank for some Hill-Stream Loaches.

Now my questions are these.
I will be having the tank look like a fast flowing creek with rocks and a few small pieces of logs. Now I want to know is what type of simple plants can I grow that will be fine in a high flow tank?

Also what size tank would be good for around 5-9 Hill-stream Loaches. I was wanting a 30 lt tank.

And will they bread if it is only them selves?

What temp would I keep them at?

And finally is there any suggestions on equipment that I might want to use?


Cheers and thank you in advance,
mack
