Im doing a 60g hillstream tank and this is my current stocking list

5 Rainbow Darters (2 male 3 female)
20 Mountain Redbelly Dace (ideally 50/50)
5 Crested Shiners(2 male 3 female)
5 Vanmanenia loaches(sex irrelevant)
5 Sewillia Elongata(sex irrelevant)
5 pseudogastromyzon laticeps(3 males 2 females)
5 panda loaches(sex irrelevant)

As you can see its pretty bottom heavy so Id prefer either one stunning fish that can handle cool water and 400gph flow, or another bright schooling fish. The tank will be overfiltered, both by the current system and an aquaclear filter and riparian plants.

  2. Brother I’m doing the exact same setup check my post history. I’m leaning towards a school of rainbow shiners or cloud minnows for the focus fish.

    Also from reading it seems rainbow darters and hillstream loaches are very aggressive vs the more docile fish like the pandas. What is your opinion?

    E:

    I also found this website it seems they have a Facebook presence also. Seems legit, have you used them?
