Loaches Online Forum

Hi Jim!
All individuals did not come to eat a bloodworm in a short term.
There is the individual which takes two or three years to come to eat a blood worm, and there is the individual which does not eat it throughout the life.

However, I feel it when they tend to do a thing when they see other individuals eating.

Could you list what species of hillstreams are shown? I was not sure what species you had.

Hi Jim
It depends on the definition of the Hillstream loach, but I keep a following algae grazing fish now.

Gastromyzon ctenocephalus, G. scitulus, G. zebrinus, G. stellatus, G. viriosus
Pseudogastromyzon cheni, Pseudogastromyzon sp (zebra)
Sinogastromyzon　wui, S. puliensis
Sewellia lineolata, S. elongata, S. spotted
Beaufortia kweichowensis
Niwaella delicata

The following fish do not graze algae at all.

Hypergastromyzon　humilis
Homaloptera zollingeri

There are a lot of gobies of Stiphodon and Sicyoptrus as a fish grazing algae else.
