i am from Shanghai, China and i find this website by Google.

this is my hillsteam loaches, what's the name of this loach ?

currenctly i put them in a small tank for quarantine, this sunday i will move them to the big tank.

Welcome to LOL, Hanyush

I'm not sure what they are, but they are beautiful fish.

Welcome.

I would opt for Gastromyzon scitulus for the Hillstreams (would need to see dorsal and caudal fins displayed)

Picture 2 looks like a Leaffish species, possibly Nandus nandus or to my eye more likely Nandus nebulosus. Both (or any for that matter) species are capable fish eaters, usually ambush predators.

Pic 3 looks like a possible Sarcocheilichthys parvus but I am not 100% sure on that.

aha. this time i find out their name. but there is no detailed informations about them.

Welcome Hanyush,

I agree with Doc on the Loaches being the Gastromyzon scitulus.
