Please take the time to read the information people are pointing you towards, newbe007. I already recommended that you read through the above article on keeping hillstream loaches in this thread: http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=9518. A poll is not appropriate in this situation, neither are repeat postings when you clearly are not taking on board the advice of the experienced fishkeepers on this forum.

It's rather refreshing to find a site so rich with information and lite on prepubescent bickering so common on other sites. Newbe007 if you’re serious about Hillstreams I would suggest that you do a search on the subject and read every post in the last couple years. I did and it opened a whole new world of information to me and re-enforced my desire to keep this fascinating fish. I’ve been preparing their future home now for about two months (all good things are worth extra time and effort) and I still need a good month before I purchase my first Hillstream but when I do I’ll know that I’ve provided the best home for them that I’m capable of. During this time my Hillstream knowledge has gone from 0 to 90 in short order but I’m still far from what I would consider knowledgeable on the subject so I still ask questions but only after a good workout on the search engine. I'm still a little embarrassed that Martin had to point me to the species index for a fish ID question but what a wealth of knowledge. Spend some time there, it’s required reading. If you do your homework and still have a question, post away. These are the world’s foremost Loach authorities here and are being far more gracious than I would expect on most sites. Do your homework and you won’t wear out your welcome. The ultimate goal of any poster is to one day be a contributor, I’m still working on it.
