It is hard to get the gold on camera, but it is there! Same behavior and same care as S. lineolata, just something a bit different for Sewellia keepers.\n\nHillstream loaches are totally unique in the world of freshwater fish. Many fish have adaptations which allow them to stay in place despite strong currents. Gobies have pelvic fins which are fused into small suction cups. Plecos have mouths which they use as holdfasts. Darters have elongated fins which act like spoilers on a racecar, pushing them down against the substrate as the water flows over. However, no other fish has taken these adaptations as far as the hillstream loaches, which have turned themselves into one big suction cup with perfect fluid dynamics.\n\nThis unique body shape stands out and has made them immensely popular with aquarists, who refer to them as \"UFOs,\" and \"miniature stingrays.\" Their popularity is reinforced by their behavior. These bold fish are active throughout the day, tirelessly grazing the rocks, wood, and other aquarium surfaces for algae and biofilm, making them endlessly fascinating to observe.\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e \nThese loaches are famous for inhabiting extremely fast flowing river rapids in their natural habitat. Because of this, many hobbyists house hillstreams in \"river manifold\" tanks which are characterized by strong water flow. While it is extremely rewarding to watch these fish navigate high flow aquariums, they don't require them because they are also found naturally in marginal rocky pools which are disconnected from the river channel and have no flow. What they absolutely require is clean, ammonia free water which is saturated with oxygen. This can be provided by something as simple as a sponge filter or as complicated as a custom built river manifold system. Both work.\n\nBecause they are sensitive to ammonia and like to graze on algae and biofilm, we recommend keeping these fish in mature, well established aquariums. The more rockwork, wood, and other hardscape available for them to graze on and explore, the better.\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\nHealthy hillsteam loaches usually learn to eat dry prepared fish foods within a few days. If necessary, picky eaters can be started on frozen bloodworms and then transitioned to dry foods. They are bottom feeders, so sinking foods are required. We feed ours a standard rotation of algae wafers and sinking protein pellets supplemented with frozen brine shrimp and frozen blood worms.\n\nThese peaceful fish are great members of a community aquarium, but they are slow feeders.

We feed ours a standard rotation of algae wafers and sinking protein pellets supplemented with frozen brine shrimp and frozen blood worms.\n\nThese peaceful fish are great members of a community aquarium, but they are slow feeders. They feed by scraping small amounts of food into their mouths a bit at a time.

When I lift the lid, they all come scurrying in anticipation of food. When I drop a wafer of sinking food to the bottom, they conduct the \"rugby scrum\" and pile onto the food. This behavior, combined with their neat colors and patterns, make this one of my favorite loaches.\n\nThis is a highly adaptable fish. During the wet season, they live in torrential hill streams with clean, highly oxygenated water. During the dry season, they can be found in isolated, stagnant pools. This adaptability makes this a very hardy species.\n\nThese active fish are best kept in large groups.
