A "minor league" competition to supplement the other poll.
(Hopefully I did not forget something obvious)

Despite the fact that i think that Sewellia lineolata are just fabulous, my vote has to go to Pseudogastromyzon cheni.

I have too many years of keeping multiple generations of these cuties. They've given me lots of entertainment, and watching their antics and interactions is always fascinating, no matter how much I look.

5 people total who keep hillstreams?

(I voted Chenis too...despite being able to keep them for only a couple of weeks -- mine came with a killer disease -- the experience was unforgettable).

I don't have a lot of experience with hillstreams but i vote for schistura (I know they are more of a brook loach than a true hillstream). I have 6 that a highly entertaining.
