do you remember this?
http://www.filelodge.com/files/room17/433639/HILLFL.PDF
If you still have access to it could you possibly email it to me?
I can't seem to locate my copy and know of an lfs with a full tank of hillstreams that could use it.
Thanks.

(Darn, I thought it would take longer for someone to guess the species).
Nay, zippies were here for two weeks. Very high on the entertainment value list, the way they interract with other species (Sewellia, WCMMs, and now yoyos) are mighty strange... (The dark line in the lower left corner is what happened to another zippy...)
Don't worry, you have a plenty of my #0 dream fish. It is just I always had extreme bad luck with it.

TY!
This too, but it is the behavior that is fantastic. Here is what these guys did so far:
1> They were quarantined with Sewellias. Formed a kuhli-like protective knot around the
female Sewellia's, while the male Sewellia's were left out on the tank wall. Huh?
2> They go nuts on bloodworms. The Q-tank has a single WCMM. Apparently, they go for color, so when I dropped bloodworms in, Zippers right away chased the poor whitecloud...(red tail!).
3> My new 125g had three unhappy yoyo's (trouble with new place, typical of botias). No eating, bickering, sitting in the corners.
I dropped zippers in, 10 minutes later dropped the bloodworms, zippers of course started eating (they have NO acclimation problems). Yoyo's joined in.
The only wrong thing about them is their idea of chasing yoyo's.
Bicycles should not be chasing tanks.... Hope it ends well.
