[fishfisy]

well they will have to get use to worm water tank wont they haha ?
i now a guy that have them with his l046 and they still going ?

[Nat's Fish]

Oh really? I thought they would die.
I knew they would love the current zebs enjoy but thought they would boil.
I'll find out how much they are for you in the morning.
It's near my work so I'll go for a walk

Thanks for that but dont take my word for it my mate bought them when they where young they been in his tank for a year now they look sooo nice so im just going to give it a try and see if they live in my tank too and thanks again

No worries. They are $12.95 each at Hurstville Aquariums on Queens Rd.
He recommended a maximum temp of 26 & I've heard they like lots of current
Cheers

Hillstream loaches (different to Borneo suckers) will tollerate higher temps no worries. However at higher temps their digestive systems are not able to keep up with the increased metabolic rate which in the long term results in shorter lifespans.
Ideally their temp should be 21-23C and although they can live without it they certainly love alot of current and high oxygenation.
If you were local i could supply you with some Sewellia lineolata or Sewellia sp spotted (got hundreds) but not worth shipping for only a few.
Gorgeous fish and very entertaining. Good luck with them.
