There my favourite hilstream loaches. do you have any pics?

 

[fishprotector]

Yes that is a disease common with the S.lineolate, apparantly Maracyn and Maracyn 2 combined is good to fight against it. What kind of set up are you running? A river manifold or lots of flow from powerheads and filters? You got any pics?

How have you found breeding them?

When you say its been a good start, what has happened? I didn't think you could breed this loach....

You can breed it. Check on loaches.com, but it has been done by numerous people now.
