AAA Grade Quarantined Hillstream Loach (Sewellia lineolata)
 
Add a true freshwater showpiece to your aquarium with our AAA Grade Hillstream Loach. Known for its striking zebra-like pattern and unique flattened body, Sewellia lineolata is both a visual standout and a functional algae grazer.
Each specimen is professionally quarantined to ensure excellent health, strong appetite, and smooth acclimation to your tank. These loaches are prized for their peaceful temperament, fascinating “cling-and-glide” behavior, and ability to thrive in well-oxygenated aquariums that mimic fast-flowing streams.
