Hillstream Loaches - The Specialists at Life In The Fast Lane — Loaches Online

Introduction Fish seem to be able to adapt to live in just about any environment that they choose. Over millions of years different families have adapted themselves to fill ecological niches that often require quite extreme measures in order to ensure survival of the species within the chosen environment. Sometimes these very adaptations can present the Aquarist with some dilemmas when he/she wants to keep these fish in their aquarium. In this article I have attempted to include as much as possible in order that anyone contemplating the keeping of the Balitoridae family of fish, often called Hillstream Loaches can better understand their requirements and my own solution to keeping them successfully. Reticulated Hillstream Loach, Sewellia lineolata. Overview The Reticulated Hillstream Loach is a curious fish of extraordinary beauty.

Reticulated Hillstream Loach, Sewellia lineolata

The unique physical features of the Reticulated Hillstream Loach reflect life adapted to fast-flowing streams. The flattened body is a special adaptation that gives the Reticulated Hillstream Loach an extremely hydrodynamic shape. This streamlined body shape helps the Reticulated Hillstream Loach navigate (or stay put) in very strong currents with minimal effort. In addition, this very practical and specialized body shape helps accentuate the gorgeous wing-like finnage of the Butterfly Hillstream Loach. Hailing from fast-moving streams of Asia, the Reticulated Hillstream Loach requires an established aquarium that replicates conditions found in these environments. Feeding the Reticulated Hillstream Loach is not difficult since it will accept most food items small enough to fit in its mouth.
