Gastromyzon cf. psiloetron are distinctive and attractively marked hillstream loaches found in fast-moving streams in Western Borneo. Sucker Loaches are found among rocks in well-oxygenated waters. In the aquarium, they are hardy fish as long as their wild habitat is replicated as closely as possible, with clean, aerated water and moderate to fast flow being essential to keep this species thriving long term. A grazer and opportunistic feeder, they should be given a varied diet high in algae or vegetable content like Fluval Bug Bites Pleco Formula or Repashy Gel Diet. A social fish, they should be kept in groups of at least 3.

Probably the most beautifully marked of all the Asian hillstream loaches, the Reticulated Hillstream Loach or Reticulated Butterfly Sucker is found in fast-flowing, rocky streams and creeks in Central and Northern Vietnam. Like many of their close relatives, this species is perfectly adapted for life in fast moving waters, with their modified pectoral and anal fins forming something of a natural suction cup. This unique adaptation allows them to not only attach firmly to surfaces but also to move forward against strong current and climb up sheer rock faces and waterfalls. They will do best in an aquarium with slightly cooler, well-oxygenated water with moderate to strong current. They will readily feed on biofilms, algae, and certain prepared foods like Fluval Bug Bites Pleco Formula or Repashy Gel Diet. A social and outgoing species, they will thrive in groups of 5 or more and have been successfully bred in the aquarium.

The Neon Borneo Sucker (Gastromyzon lepidogaster) may be the most stunning loach from the “Borneo Sucker” complex. G. lepidogaster are unique in the fact that as they age, they change color. Young begin life as a small, nondescript, black hillstream loach. In sub-adulthood, they go through a dramatic color transformation, changing from black to bright-orange. When sexually mature, they change their color again, this time to a bright, reflective-green. Mature, older, adults can switch between their three color phases at will; or, choose an intermediate color between the two. Specimens that choose to wear a combination of the orange and green are sight to behold. The entire body of the fish has what almost appears as a “dusting” of iridophores: structural pigments that make them appear to “sparkle.” This is a truly “holographic” fish. As with all rheophillyne loaches, G. lepidogaster needs very clean (minimal TDS, no organic waste), slightly-acidic, highly-oxygenated, cool water (50F-80F; room temperature is fine).
