BRR its cold here right now...cursed Nebraska weather, cant wait to hit that Mississippi hotness!! :D Awesome loach! Looks kinda like a hillstream...;)

lol.. yea i know it's SOME type of hillstream, but i just wanna know specifically WHICH one.
 
LoL....sorry, just looked at the picture, didn't see that you had posted it was a type of hillstream...dooh!! Keep it in cooler waters. I TRIED to keep mine in temps. of 78 degrees, with little success...that was before i knew much about them...

oh damn. i didn't know they were a cold water fish. we've had it at the store for months now, and he's done fine. he's also doing really good in my tank and swimming around and playing like crazy. think he could've adapted? he was the only one to survive at work.
