Thanks for the comments
I was surprised how well they have settled after the trouble I had with the
P. Cheni when I got them, I expected to lose a couple after losing 5
P. Cheni but these seem to be fine (touching lots of wood

).
I just cant understand now why it has taken me so long to get some Hillies

Pardon my honesty - I am a Northerner
14 loach species bred, which will be next?
