This tank has been running for several months with these inhabitants. Normally hillstream Loach types shouldn't be in the same tank as more aggressive schistura, nemachelius, or Botia species. These fish are going to be split up soon. Both sets of fish are from fast-flowing rivers, but the hillstreams are not very good at combating for food.
