Ur vid is amazing

And let's not overlook the tank itself. The setup is absolutely gorgeous. Ok, back to the fish - their markings are spectacular. I wish they were a bit easier to find in these parts. Nice share, Nick. Thanks!

I love that your videos cover months and i dont have to wait for updates. I know it takes longer to put out content, but i really appreciate it!

I would of like to have seen more of this brilliant video of the growth of these tiny baby Hillstream loaches. ❤

Awesome video Nick! We all appreciate how much work and effort you put into your videos. It just keeps getting better! 😁

Man, I’m the happiest person ever that the good old videos have came back BUTT with far better quality that makes it sooo cool and pleasing to watch, thank you man! I’m only 13 and have learned so much stuff from you!

What a beautiful tank setup. It looks like what it’s supposed to look like “a river”, almost like you carved it out of nature and put it in a small tank. I guess that’s why they thrive in the tank and breed. Plus I love the documentary style of the videos. I love the documentary style of your recent videos and obviously also they old style where we learn how to care for and breed fish

Every video is a small documentary with so much thought behind it. I really love it and look forward to the next mini doc.

Your documentary filmmaking skills - filming, editing, voiceover, fish keeping - all fantastic! I love what you are doing 🩵

Nick! I have always enjoyed your videos but you have gone next level! So excited for your future!

Have bred hundreds of Sewellia Lineolata and also Sewellia Albisuera. My advice is to keep the water as clean as possible, do regulary fresh cold water changes and give them space to do their mating dance like a big flat stone or an open sandy space. Ofcourse be very careful with waterchanges because the young fish are very fragile. An other thing I noticed is when the fish are still in the juvenile form, they are very vulnerable for stress. That is why I always waited to move them to others untill they had the flat form. An other breeder had the same experience.

What do you feed them? I can't even see my adult fish feeding, but they are already in my tank over 3 months and I never seen them eating

@@wagenlowyikhang7019 There is a misunderstanding about Sewellias. They are not algea eaters but they eat the bio film in your aquarium. However, you can feed them also special tablets for loaches or small sinking granules.

The videography is awesome so do is the editing! This is something I can watch all day!

That was awesome! Those babies are amazing. I really like the Hillstream loaches. Thank you for sharing such an incredible event.

This may be my favorite video so far. The music, narration and epic quality video is awesome. Mini documentary style!!!!

Hi Nick, your awesome video inspired me to replicate your project. So I prepared a tank much like yours in the video & in September last year I ordered some HSL's from you. As they were pretty young I basically just set and forgot them, not expecting much to happen for a while. I would check in on them from time to time, just to make sure they were still there as they spend a lot of time under the rocks. Imagine my surprise the other day when I caught a very brief flash of something small dart between some rocks. I thought it may have been some of the local shrimp(NQ algae Shrimp) I have in there with them, but on patiently waiting I was able to pick out at least a dozen very small HSL's. I'm absolutely ecstatic and just wanted to share this with you, thank you.

Spectacular footage!! Thank you and congrats 😊

Those little guys are fantastic! Top notch cute.

Well I would have to say that's one of your best put together clips mate. Great footage mate nice work

Awesome nick! I want to try breeding these! Thanks so much for showing this!🙏

I almost didn't click because I thought you were doing something wild with actual freshwater stingrays!?! Glad I re-read the title!! Another awesome video! Your just banging out hit after hit recently! Your footage of the mating dance was amazing! And you're so right, seeing the young munching away is almost cuteness overload! 🙏✌️

Same here, I am a hillstream loach enthusiast and I scrolled past this multiple times because of the title. I didnt look closely at the picture because it says “stingray” in the thumbnail and I’m not interested in those. Wasn’t until my fifth or sixth time it came up in recommended that I realized it’s actually loaches. If it would have been titled properly, I would have watched it right away.

@@frogbutsmall definitely wasn't the best title he's done. Yours was exactly my experience. I thought maybe it was another wild vid and I'm not too into actual giant stingrays so I was going to skip. Glad I didn't though as the footage is amazing!

Never thought there would be a 100 days challenge in this hobby

Really interesting video, the fish and the tank look fantastic, great work!

Great video. Love the story telling style, close up shots, and shorter length.

The sound effects really made this one! Awesome video.

These are so cool. It’s great that you have videos like this.

The sound design is always great

Oh these mini's are sooooo cute.

These kind of video are soooo satisfying and a huge stress relief Please do more cuz Ik it takes a long time to make these please start more projects

Great video Nick! these have had a soft spot for me after keeping and breeding them many years ago, when I first saw them in a shop I was amazed with them, they are definitely a oddity in our fish community and I first thought the same thing and told my kids they are like mini stingrays, seeing you keep and breed them in the shop has been awesome and you have bred so many in such a short time, I had the same type of setup but I used a powerhead, thinking back I may of went wrong with that and the sponge filter may be the way to go, I may have sucked up eggs, now that they have exploded it may be a good time to move the large ones to another aquarium otherwise the young ones might eat the eggs as well, another great video Thanks for sharing 🙂

I refer to these guys as "scootches" and I love them.

Love what you're doing nick!! Keep up a great work

The edition in this video is amazing!

Great work !!!

Brilliant video mate!

Fantastic video, love the style and can’t wait to be able to get some of these from you.

Awesome video nick! Congratulations on all the little baby hillstream loaches , they are so so adorable and the way the male and female breed is very intense lol. Thanks for sharing mate 😊

Awesome filming! I've never even considered loaches but this was such neat footage made me add them to my mental list😁

Thanks for sharing:)

The sound effects are top notch

Fantastic video man

Well done video. The music wasn’t intrusive. Spot on my friend.

I had them, they are gorgeous.

thats some pretty spot on nature documentary-esque editing and narrating

Such a cool little fish!

Love watching your videos thanks

I love these!

They are adorable

I'm so excited that we seem to be getting healthy breeding colonies right here in brisbane.. I had given up on finding healthy loaches down under.

I like your discovery channel style of editing 😁

True fish keeping. This is how it should look like, aquascaping with purpose to simulate natural conditions ☝️👌

I’m glad I’m not the only one who calls them mini stingrays

Awesome 🎉

This video had me grinning ear to ear , super freakin amazing 🎉❤.

amazing video, makes me want to get some to try breeding them. when will they be up on the website?

They're. so. cute!

Great job look awesome

Awesome bro !

Great job on the production quality of this video. It was like watching a BBC nature documentary

love it! great content. saludos desde Costa Rica :)

These fish look so awesome. I recently watched a YT video of a guy in Florida, US who nets/traps canals, ponds etc for feral aquarium fish and some of their catch included this fish. This alone made me wish I could get back into keeping tanks. I beleve you will have a huge demand for such a unique fish.

These are so fun to watch, but I feel like I’m missing information that I’d love to have.. That is with no disrespect, it is evident that you put a LOT of work into these kind of videos!

Awesome!!!! 😯😯

Really great video! What temperature do you keep the tank at?

I've got a pair atm, bred last night. Such beautiful critters

Love this video - thankyou! How do you manage heat in summer? I'm in SA & would love to keep these, but it gets pretty hot in summer & cold in winter.

So cool, well done.

this is amazing! you inspire me i bred mollies without meaning to !!!

I felt like I watched a Movie 😮 So inspiring to see how the video quality have improved over your videos 😍

Superb content bro, I enjoy this a lot

Awesome short video, as I too have Hillstreams and this is the first time I have seen the mating dance on KZread.

Hey man you know,it is in my bucket list for 2year....I will make this oneday

I was wondering what size the tank was, and what parameters your water was at? I'd appreciate if you could either respond or add it to the description. These are my boyfriend's favorite loach and I wanted to set up a tank for him. ❤

Be careful what you wish for. I have an endler guppy that's been pregnant since last November. She has given birth to over half my tank.

I usually have between 100 to 300 in a 20 gallon tank that has two filters. I sell the adults to a local pet store and have sold some in person. I only get the pet store dollars. Not actual cash. However I do get real cash from buyers who come in person.
