Reticulated Hillstream Loaches are my favorite. I never tire of watching mine get the zoomies during feeding time.

I just got into the hobby about 4 weeks ago and I’ve used your videos for all of my questions! Keep up the amazing work and spreading the knowledge ❤

Nice to see A co-op still here and growing . I started watching a few years ago. Then had a break and just came back to the hobby… congrats Cory . Great info all over your channel

I found one of my nerites on the floor one morning not so long ago, it was all dried out. I put it back on the aquarium and somehow after some hours it came back to life lol

I have six Hillstream Loaches and they have cleaned glass of my tank beautifully.

Thanks for the suggestions. I must say I could not keep my eyes off your Rosy Barbs in the background...they look beautiful...

Hi! Just found you and have been watching video after video. You are fantastic! I'm learning a lot and like your way of speaking. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

Great suggestions, thank you! I have an olive nerite I have had for years…must be over 10 years by now. A great algae muncher!

Had no idea you guys have a channel, I recently added Easy Green to my arsenal I can’t tell you how happy I am! Amazing results! The cleanup crew lineup in my 30 gallon breeder is: 1 Hillstream, 1 Polka Dot, 1 Reticulated, 2 Mystery snails, 2 Nerites (1 Tiger, 1 Olive) 1 Inca, 1 Ivory, and 1 Midnight! 🐌

Very helpful and timely video on algae eaters.

I found nerites to be surprisingly cute with their radulas being visible while they munch on the algae on the glass.

Incredibly helpful--thank you so much!

Hillstream all day!
Such a cool fish, hard working and a joy to keep.

Love Pinocchio’s. Recently got them from a breeder in Portland area. Would strongly recommend! They’re not just great algae eaters, they’re super fun to watch. One of my new favorites!

[Scottishtanks.]

Thank you for the great info. Getting myself a hill steam loach.

Great video, and perfectly timed for me. Im just getting back into the hobby after 12-15 years away from it, and my plated Betta tank is just-this-week having an algae bloom on (only) the side with the heater, thank you 🙏 The tank: Topfin 6 gallon (triangular shaped bow front) with one large (relative to tank size) fake "wood" and 7 Live plants (mostly anubius, of i spelled that right). 1 Betta, 3 cories, and as of today 1 nerite snail. Not my first tank by far, but my first time adding live plants 😊

It's been 8+ months and even after ALL the water changes and using purigen i still can't put nerite snails in my tank because I used fenbendazole.. what gives?? Crazy that it still kills them after all this time..I miss having snails 😢 definitely think this needs to be talked about and made known to others.

[ArteioStudio]

got into aquariums 2 months ago to record a video on it (ive always loved animals not just for content) and I have honestly watched so many of your videos and thank you for everything yovue helped me with I hope yall will like my tank!
