Yellow Finned Hillstream Loach (Gastromyzon viriosus)
These are one variation on the Hillstream loach. These are a cool oddball fish that has flatten sucker-like bodies! These have yellow edges on their fins and look like miniature stingrays!
These fish are native to fast moving mountain streams that are highly oxygenated. Their modified pectoral and pelvic fins act like suction cups to help them cling to rocks and wood.
These are peaceful algae grazers who spend most of their time eating the algae and biofilm off the rocks and glass of the aquarium. They are social creates that like to be in small groups!
They can live in lower temperature and do best around 68-75 degrees. They like more surface area so would be great in lowboys or breeder tanks.
Come check them out and get a small group!
