Loach: Hillstream Butterfly

Description

The Hillstream Butterfly Loach is an eye-catching and unique freshwater fish, prized for its distinct, flattened body and vibrant, patterned fins that resemble butterfly wings. Known for its adaptability to fast-flowing, oxygen-rich water, this loach thrives in tanks with strong currents and plenty of smooth surfaces to graze on algae. Its suction-cup-like mouth allows it to cling to rocks and glass, mimicking its natural river habitat. Ideal for aquarists with a well-maintained, cool-water setup, the Hillstream Butterfly Loach not only contributes to algae control but also adds a fascinating visual element to the aquarium. Its peaceful nature makes it a great addition to community tanks.
