It's simple, Hillstream looks like a stingray and the kuhli looks like an eel. It's like buying a peaceful pocket sized version of those animals. Plus dojo loaches get decently big
Kuhlis are also quite social and active in the correct numbers and conditions with their special “Kuhli dance” being a sign they’re happy. They look like little eels to some making them appealing to those wanting a unique but small “serpentine” addition. Mine are always out munching and dancing and seldom hide, even when performing maintenance. A docile tank and ample numbers does wonders for them.
Literally just got 6 Hills and 6 kuhlis. It’s been 2 days. They are awesome. The kuhlis are everywhere they don’t seem bother by anything. They keep playing in my air bubbles. They swim all over the tank. Front back top bottoms in between my wood and plants. My hills are everywhere and I’m sure there is a pair forming. They keep following eachother and booping eachother. It’s so awesome to see. The kulis colour is stunning. That bright yellow and black bumble bee / snake pattern is so cool. The hills have stunning blue tails. I’ve got dark black hills with hundreds of little spots on them and I have others that are brown with larger white spots. You can tell who’s male and female. And the sit on the front glass. The kuhlis little whiskers are so cute. They have me in love with them from the second I saw them in the shop.
Just knowing that you got a tiny freshwater stingray is freaking awesome. It fills an internal sense of accomplishment that I don’t have to share with anyone.
Haven't had hillstreams, but kuhlis are delightful. To get them to be social, you need to have 3-4 of them. They are personable and fun to watch, and you don't have to have a huge tank to keep them. I love clowns, but I don't have a big enough tank for them to grow into. I have kuhlis in all three tanks in my house. My kids love them, too.
I own both these fish, kuhli is still shy cause he's lonely (didn't do research but gonna buy some more kuhlis soon to help him feel at home) but the hillstream is so busy and so friendly even curious enough to approach our hands when cleaning or maintaining the tank
are they living together? is there only one hill stream? and what size tank do you have? just curious because i have a 90 gallon and wanted to add some kuhli and potentially a couple hill stream if possible/they can live together fine😊
@priscillaspets yeah we just have one hillstream, they dont need massive tanks, but we have the hillstream and Kuhlis in our 125 gallon and they're both extremely peaceful fish so they can easily be kept together
i’ve never kept the hill stream, but I definitely kept a lot of kuhlis and me personally I just like the way they look when they’re swimming in hiding assuming you have plans like sawassertang plants and the reason why I think people like the hill stream is because is the most closest thing to a stingray because that’s why I like them
Hillstream are actually out all the time if you have them in a nice chill set up and give them time to adjust. Plus lots of flow helps them because they love playing in it.
I changed my substrate to sand and now I see my kuhli loaches alllllll the time... they seem super happy... when it was gravel... never saw them... imagine they were doing the same amount of foraging but just below gravel
Kuhlis are the after hours janitors of my aquarium. I rarely see them, and they keep the aquarium clean. Before I moved my 50g tank, I thought they had died a decade ago. But after taking down the tank, I found 4 out of 5 of them hiding in crazy places. They are now in my new setup.... I think...somewhere.... I know I put them there....
Here on Long Island I see them in every pet store. Both are bad ass loaches but Kuhlis are my favorite bottom feeder. Especially if you have a thick sand layer they will keep it clean.
Hillstreams are broad group of well over 100 individual species with varying patterns and even unique colors as well. When in a peaceful tank with plenty of their own kind, they are quite active and their little territorial displays are hilariously benign. They have a unique shape and seeing their little hearts pumping against the glass is awe inspiring. They also remain rather small minus a few species which makes them perfect biofilm munchers for smaller tanks.
@@Constantine_Cvl8 are you looking for a specific size minimum or look? The highest flow would be your homaloptera species types which are more elongated. Sometimes they’re called lizard hillstream loaches.
@@JWiseAquatics it's a large tank so it's mainly so that you can actually see the fish. Homaloptera hm? I do have access to orthogo-watchamacallit and I've seen a "green lizard" Homaloptera sold by a couple of onlime vendors. I'll see what I can get. Any specific differences in care from the stingray-looking hillstream loaches?
hillstream loaches are natives in my area. you would not believe how many colour varieties i caught in just one single river stream. red, blue, zebra stripes, green red variation. i believes its a gastromyzon sp. loves it!
Hey Dustin. I purchased a total of 3 hillstream loaches. My bristlenose plecos have been reproducing. So one morning, while attending to my tank, I saw a couple of wigglers. I just assumed they were plecos. Wrong, after a little research I realized that they were hillstream fry. They are all over the tank like speedy Gonzalez. I am hooked
I have both hillstream and kuhli loach. I always liked the eel like movements and looks. And the hillstream caught my eye on the tank you can see there heart beating and they look like tiny stingrays also nice leopard patterns
The hill stream loatch is amazing I have 2 in my 125 gallon shrimp tank and they are out and about all day they are incredibly fast and leave a dust trail behind them they also have a really cool way of eating where they stay till and use they're fins to push the water under them and filter it also when they are on the glass I can see all of they're organs plus the fact they look like tiny sting rays 😊
Kuhlis are super cool fish the only reason you didnt see yours in the tank was because you kept one singular one. If you have more kuhlis, the more active they will be.
I have both, khulis are very cute, mini serpentine like fishs, with a big group you see them piling up together, and they just look like mini eels. Hillstream loach’s look like nano stingrays when there on the substrate, and they have some of the most unique behaviours and appearance for such a small fish.
maybe I shouldn't be asking but is it a good idea to keep em with goldfishes....? I tried plecos and that I am not doing again...tried Chinese algea eaters and gara rufa which jumped out of my tank and died....so is hillstream loach a good idea along with goldfish(mine are quite big goldies)
Id LOVE to have a BPP, but theyre so large and I heard that they arent very good with plants, so I dont think ill ever keep one in an aquarium, Ill do a pond someday instead. Meanwhile kuhlis are like their tiny shy cousin and stay much smaller. Man I cant wait to have a big ass pond with dojo loaches n maybe some rescue fish that can stay outside year round where I am too
I have the reticulated hill stream lodges and I just like the way that they hang out on the glass. And mine have been reproducing so it's so cool to see these little teeny tiny babies on the glass they just cool.
The hillstream loach is an amazing fish. I started with 3 about 2 years ago I now have a ton of them and they are always out on the glass and chasing each other all around the tank playing and bonus they look like little aliens. One of my favorite fish and my husbands favorite to watch. Very easy to breed also. I do have kuhlis and I see them once in a while they do like to hide a lot still a cool fish though
#1 and #2 are grey and golden dojos for me, grey is #1 because I own one named Mr.Miyagi and he’s my favorite :) #3 is hillstream loaches Edit: I got my first hillstream today, my LFS has one of their plant tanks full of reticulated hillstream loaches lol, I personally haven’t seen Kuhli’s at LFS but I saw 5 bags of 5 sell off at an auction a month ago
Just picked up 6 juvenile yellow fin hillstream loaches at a swap/show near Chicago.. Only paid $35.. I plan to breed these guys.. I'm sure there has to be atleast one female out of the six I got.. These guys are better algae eaters out there I think.. away better than Pleco's.. I out in a few rocks with algae on them in their tank and the algae was cleaned off within a few days.. Plus they are a super cool looking fish..
They are an awesome lil fish, great cleaners & beautiful...unfortunately I had horrible luck w/ em, went thru 3, didnt last long as they are far from hearty & obviously need specific water parameters....but I would stll get another
I love these fish i used to have many. And not a hate comment but my daughter heard you talking about Santa and Easter bunny and me and Mom had some explaining to do thanks Dustin its all good though love your plants amazing and videos keep it up.
I live in Goa and the hillstream loach and kuhli are quiet common in established fish shops not the local ones , both arnt cheap , i keep hillstream loaches coz they reslllyy look sooo cool 🤌🏼 and help with cleaning the rocks , wood and walls of the tank and eat the food left over
Hillstream looks great, love the pattern, very active and fast moving. Always hungry too. A bit expensive, not very common but I got my first from Petco, then my local fish store luckily likes to stock them
i see both of them fish every day. i have both hillstream loachs and kholi loach's in my tank. kholi loachs are like puppy dogs. the hill stream loach is like a sting ray and keeps my tank cleanish
Kuli loaches are easy find they stay in one spot and come out the gravel or sand when feeding time especially night time. I see mine all the time you just have to find where they are hiding
got 3 hilstream in my 75g and they are so awesome i got 2 more in quarantine!!!! They look like aliens and give your tank stock versatility. They do a good job on the algae and are easy to feed!!! I see mine all the time on the glass or on the rocks and I hope they breed in my community tank!!! I cant speak on the kuhli loach...yet but I got them in my next months fish list for my 20g 👊
I myself have four goldfish an apple snail and three hillstream's the hillstream's have amazing pattern's they are cute great algae eaters and when in group's come out more often and are just great fish to have for messy fish like goldfish or just if you want them they also like to hide in dark place's and only grow up to 6.5 centimeter's
Got 3 Hillstream Loachs, easily the best loach I've ever kept. I feel bad for you if you've never seen them. They have such a unique appearance and are very active all day.
I dont know if i can speak for all of Europe, but in Belgium you can find the Hillstream in every! Fishtore. They are beautiful and friendly. Easy to keep. I always had some in my aquarium. I love them.
ALL of my loaches hillstream and black kuhlie have been incredibly social and don't hide more than my pleco or octys and are incredibly healthy..... serval live plant in 20-55 gal tanks with plecos, guppies and gourami. A couple odd balls but everyone's happy! It's all about the keeper.
my hillstream loach hangs out on the glass and hides on the top of rocks and kinda blends in. He does nothing but sit there and flutter. He doesn’t keep the glass clean either lol assuming it’s a guy
My Hillstream is super cool! Looks just like a lil Stingray and he’s all over the tank. Of course my Daughters Giant Golden Dojo is awesome….. real chunky guy! I love em both!
i have kuhlis and a hillstream. in the correct conditions, and numbers, they are very social and outgoing. if they are hiding all the time it is because of what you have stocked with them, that they percussion as a threat, and the way your scape is laid out. more open foreground area, youll see the kuhlis more.
Freshwater sting ray looking thimgs are cute, the same way kermit the frog is cute in a muppet kinda way. And khuli loaches are little noodles if you have enough they come out. . . Just be sure to have a heavy lid for hillstream loaches/ borneo suckers.
Hill streams are like a sting ray and if you have a bulk head they go crazy in the current and the kuli is like a unicorn you might not see it for months but when you do they put on a show. They're like a pup doing the zoomies
They are tiny fish hillstream cleans and looks like a stingray khuli loaches are like smaller dojo loaches and dwarf chain loaches are best for snail problems you can have way more small fish instead of big fish.
It's simple, Hillstream looks like a stingray and the kuhli looks like an eel. It's like buying a peaceful pocket sized version of those animals. Plus dojo loaches get decently big
Kuhlis are also quite social and active in the correct numbers and conditions with their special “Kuhli dance” being a sign they’re happy. They look like little eels to some making them appealing to those wanting a unique but small “serpentine” addition. Mine are always out munching and dancing and seldom hide, even when performing maintenance. A docile tank and ample numbers does wonders for them.
What does the ‘dance’ look like
@@dreesemo3323 they glass surf essentially. Noodling up and down the glass.
I have one kuhli loach that is ballz and swims up to eat at the apistogramma pellets while they are still munching them...
If they have place to hide 😂 you'll see them 😂
This is so true @@ottosteyn5299. Mine just hang out in the open and drape themselves all over my plants and I have a ton of hiding spots 😂
Hillstream loaches are so cute, always dangling and cleaning the glass
Groups...mine breed...I do nothing but feed them aqueon shrimp pellets....they love them. Very entertaining as they chase each other.
They look like little pancakes 🥹❤

@@charlesrichardleeuwendaal8692you should consider getting a couple more hillstream loaches, mine are always interacting with eachother.

How have you never seen either of these loaches? They’re usually in stock at every lfs around me at least!
Mabie He hasnt seen them around because he looks at plants more than fish
He means to say they hide a lot
Because kuhli loaches are adorable...i literally just got 3. They're so cute and funny and full of personality. Did you have a heavily planted tank???
Here on Long Island I see them in every pet store. Both are bad ass loaches but Kuhlis are my favorite bottom feeder. Especially if you have a thick sand layer they will keep it clean.
I love my khuli loaches. They scoot all over all the tank, especially at feeding time.

My Khulis are out aaaaall the time. I'm looking at one right now! Just setting up a Hillstream tub to try to breed them as they are so cute!!!
To be honest…. When you set up a good environment for khuli loach, they are absolutely so fun to watch
I have a hillstream loach and they move around the tank a lot and hang around the glass. I recommend having one
Kuhlis are super cool fish the only reason you didnt see yours in the tank was because you kept one singular one. If you have more kuhlis, the more active they will be.

I just got my hillstream a week ago i like it cause it cleans my glass but dosent get big like a pleco. I only have a 18x18in cube tank
Hillstream is pretty common and looks super cool when swimming around. Good cleaner and awesome pattern..
Honestly, my experience it took more than 3 months for my hillstream loach to quit hiding and actually come out more often
maybe I shouldn't be asking but is it a good idea to keep em with goldfishes....? I tried plecos and that I am not doing again...tried Chinese algea eaters and gara rufa which jumped out of my tank and died....so is hillstream loach a good idea along with goldfish(mine are quite big goldies)
I have both and while the kulis are shy they do come out .My hillstreams are busy bodies all over day and night. scooting all over the surfaces.
The funny thing is I have both in the same aquarium (well, a borneo sucker and a black kuhli, but close enough)
Some of us are up at 2 a.m watching our tanks with red lights
Id LOVE to have a BPP, but theyre so large and I heard that they arent very good with plants, so I dont think ill ever keep one in an aquarium, Ill do a pond someday instead. Meanwhile kuhlis are like their tiny shy cousin and stay much smaller.

Blud really hates all fish except loaches so bad
I have 5 hillstream loaches and I only ever see 2 of them. I originally bought 3 and have never seen that 3rd one until I added the 2 other ones.
I’ve had those for so long. Love them ❤
They are like stingrays and they are very peaceful, they are also cute and they grow up to 3 inches
Hillstream loaches are great they clean your tank and eat algae they also eat uneaten fish food
That's the only two loaches i have, they look unique and i love them, although kuhli loaches always die in my aquarium not sure why.
I have the reticulated hill stream lodges and I just like the way that they hang out on the glass. And mine have been reproducing so it's so cool to see these little teeny tiny babies on the glass they just cool.

My Hillstream loaches are out all the time. I honestly think they’re my favorite fish I’ve ever owned
Haha hillstream and kuhli loaches are the only ones I own. I love them!
“I kept 1 schooling fish, why did I never see it?” Brother, you need of school of schooling fish.
My 3 loaches come out all the time ..they love mt cichlids and Angel fish ohh and snails ❤
The only reason you barely see the khuli loach is because they are schooling fish and whenever they are lonely they just hide
Kuhlis are social creatures they need to be kept in groups (5 or more) to feel safe.
I like em because they glide around the tank like Batman 😎
I love these fish i used to have many. And not a hate comment but my daughter heard you talking about Santa and Easter bunny and me and Mom had some explaining to do thanks Dustin its all good though love your plants amazing and videos keep it up.
I have 2 kuhli loaches one of them is very active and swims to the top of the tank and the other just chills although their black
Baby sting rays always win

Let’s be honest most people actually want salt fish but can’t afford them so when they sea them it’s just like “SURPRISE WE COME FOR FRESHWATER TOO”
Hillstreams are like mini stingrays 😎
I have like 10 of em in a 40gal sorority tank and their pretty cool
Hillstream looks great, love the pattern, very active and fast moving. Always hungry too. A bit expensive, not very common but I got my first from Petco, then my local fish store luckily likes to stock them
bro 💀 when i went to the fish store i see groups of hillstream loaches then i told my mom to buy 2 of them not knowing they were hard to find
I love both of those. Just got my noodles today. And I plan to get a Hillstream loach since I first saw it. Looks like a smol pancake fish.
I got 3 hillstream loaches they look different from any fish it's like a nano ray 😂😂
i see both of them fish every day. i have both hillstream loachs and kholi loach's in my tank. kholi loachs are like puppy dogs. the hill stream loach is like a sting ray and keeps my tank cleanish
Kuli loaches are easy find they stay in one spot and come out the gravel or sand when feeding time especially night time. I see mine all the time you just have to find where they are hiding
This is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Hillstream apparently are very coordinated when they fam up
Dustin’s right dojo gang represent
got 3 hilstream in my 75g and they are so awesome i got 2 more in quarantine!!!!
They look like aliens and give your tank stock versatility. They do a good job on the algae and are easy to feed!!! I see mine all the time on the glass or on the rocks and I hope they breed in my community tank!!! I cant speak on the kuhli loach...yet but I got them in my next months fish list for my 20g 👊
I myself have four goldfish an apple snail and three hillstream's the hillstream's have amazing pattern's they are cute great algae eaters and when in group's come out more often and are just great fish to have for messy fish like goldfish or just if you want them they also like to hide in dark place's and only grow up to 6.5 centimeter's
Hillstreams look cool and that’s my only take on them. I have one in my tank and I see him out all the time on the glass
Got three hill streams, they are very cool looking and not shy being all over the tank.
Both cute, fun to watch, also you aren’t supposed to see all your fish all the time, if you are, the tank is overstocked, or under planted.
Got 3 Hillstream Loachs, easily the best loach I've ever kept. I feel bad for you if you've never seen them. They have such a unique appearance and are very active all day.
I dont know if i can speak for all of Europe, but in Belgium you can find the Hillstream in every! Fishtore. They are beautiful and friendly. Easy to keep. I always had some in my aquarium. I love them.
I love both of these derpy buggers
its just a tiny chill stingray that cleans my glass. its the best
ALL of my loaches hillstream and black kuhlie have been incredibly social and don't hide more than my pleco or octys and are incredibly healthy..... serval live plant in 20-55 gal tanks with plecos, guppies and gourami. A couple odd balls but everyone's happy! It's all about the keeper.
my hillstream loach hangs out on the glass and hides on the top of rocks and kinda blends in. He does nothing but sit there and flutter. He doesn’t keep the glass clean either lol assuming it’s a guy
I have like 10 kuhli loaches and I’ve hardly ever seen them. They’re always out in the night 😂 guess I gotta get 10 more
My Hillstream is super cool! Looks just like a lil Stingray and he’s all over the tank.
Of course my Daughters Giant Golden Dojo is awesome….. real chunky guy!
I love em both!
I think they’re cute weirdos.
I have a hillstream they r rlly cool and I have a water fall and they do rlly jobs at cleaning
I seen/have a hillstream loach in my aquarium.
i have kuhlis and a hillstream. in the correct conditions, and numbers, they are very social and outgoing. if they are hiding all the time it is because of what you have stocked with them, that they percussion as a threat, and the way your scape is laid out. more open foreground area, youll see the kuhlis more.
My 3 kulis chill under the sponge filter alot but also just explore and dig in sand.
Freshwater sting ray looking thimgs are cute, the same way kermit the frog is cute in a muppet kinda way. And khuli loaches are little noodles if you have enough they come out. . . Just be sure to have a heavy lid for hillstream loaches/ borneo suckers.
Bruh did you put them in a group 6 or 4 because Kuhli loaches are social fish and will feel more comfortable in higher numbers
Hill streams are like a sting ray and if you have a bulk head they go crazy in the current and the kuli is like a unicorn you might not see it for months but when you do they put on a show. They're like a pup doing the zoomies
Mine does a backflip when it wants to get from the walls to the ground
Wrong my khuli loaches act like little digletts just popping their heads out from the little hiding spots they did and I love it
I have one of each in the same tank lol
They are tiny fish hillstream cleans and looks like a stingray khuli loaches are like smaller dojo loaches and dwarf chain loaches are best for snail problems you can have way more small fish instead of big fish.
Has anyone Khuli Loach ever ate their Mexican oak leaf aquarium plant?
My hillstream loaches were very active and playing with each other
My wife and I just got a hillstream loach at out local pet store tonight.
I see kuhli loaches and hill stream loaches more often than dojo loaches in petstores lol
