Hello there,
After reading another topic about hillstream loach, I have decided that I'm gonna have a go at setting up a small coldwater tank. I haven't looked for a tank yet but am looking to get a 15g. long tank, which will be stocked with WCMM and the Hillstream loach.
What I wanna know is...
What other types of fish are there that are 'tropical' fish which prefer colder water? (not goldfish!)
Would it be safe to pinch some plants from a local stream and add them to the tank?
The tank itself will have plenty of pebbles of different sizes and gravel as I'd like to try and make it look as natural as possible.
Many thanks.
