Reticulated Hillstream Loaches are one of the most fascinating fish we have ever gotten in here at Flip Aquatics. Their unique body shape is absolutely stunning. They originate from fast moving streams therefore they prefer good water flow. We house ours using a matten filter to create flow. This creates good oxygen content and good flow although a power head would help too.
These fish would go great with Bamboo Fan Shrimp as they both prefer water movement and originate from streams. Trying to recreate a stream with river stone will help these fish thrive.
The scientific name for the Reticulated Hillstream Loach is Pseudogastromyzon myersi or Sewellia lineolata although other species may get mixed in.
We feed our Hillstream Loaches a mix Northfin Veggie, Community and Fry Starter. Their preferred food is Northfin Kelp Wafers and natural algae or biofilm. They are not picky eaters and will accept foods that are small enough.

Great fish very lively. Highly recommend
We love all the Loach family and would love to order more of all varieties! Your shipping costs are prohibitive however. I paid $58 for shipping $98 worth of fish!!!
Great customer service. I emailed them about a question for my order and was answered very quickly. I ordered 6 hillstream loaches and got a bonus one. All fish arrived alive and healthy. Flip is the only place to buy fish and shrimp.
I have 4 of these and a few Amano shrimp in a 15 gallon Fluval Flex. This tank has a section in the back for heaters, a filter, and a pump that moves the water back into the Front of the tank, 3 of my 4 Hillstream Loaches like to hang on the wall directly under the water flowing from the pump. Then most of the shrimp play in the stream of water from the pump! The shrimp also like to dive bomb the Loaches. This tank sits on my nightstand right next to me in my bed. I’ve never seen any aquatic pets before. Probably never noticed, but I LOVE THEM! 😍😍😍
Flips is super generous with their fish. You can expect nothing but the best, and they usually send at least one extra with larger orders.
