What's your favorite hillstream loach that "sucks" on objects? If I could get one, it would be sewellia lineolata for me.

That's been asked on here before. That's a difficult one to narrow it down to one.
Sewellia lineolata, Pseudogastromyzon cheni, and any of the Gastromyzons would be my favorites.

I think that Sewellia are by far the most fun to observe. And the more of them you have the more fun it is.

Even had a poll, Chenis won., if you did not vote you still can....

FWIW, Sewellia & Cheni are the obvious top, but right now I'd put Confuzonas (or Crossostomas -- actually a very similar personality) pretty high too.

P.Cheni's. They are so funny sometimes and the babies tend to be quite fiesty.
