I bought a hillstream loach from AzGardens. You can see the heart beating! It's so cool!

I hope it likes algae. I have a little bit.

Should have told me...

I could have hooked you up with one. They need good water flow and lots of oxygane. They like algae a lot. It is one of their main source of foods.

Thanks, miliac. I was going to hit you up for some shrimp later! My loach seems happy so far. It likes the back glass where the powerhead flow is strongest.

I have a couple that were sold under the name "Borneo Suckers". They eat algae off the glass in my tank about 95% of the time.
