Try to keep it local if possible...would really like a Hillstream or Butterfly Loach.

Show me what you got, also would need to survive with some Goldfish :lol: .

Thanks
 
Hillstream/butterfly loaches need cooler temp's and plenty of current, to keep the water well-oxygenated. Dojo (weather) loaches would probably be better to mix w/goldfish.
 
I have those too, plenty of Hillstreams look right at home in the tank with Goldfish. The tank is always room temp anyways, 74-76 never warmer.
 
im sure it would be fine, you're going to need a pretty good filter though. beside the fact goldfish are really messy, they are bred to be able to live in dirty places, however the hillstreams are very sensitive to water parameters. my survival rate (from 1 store) was about 2/5 (could have been a bad shipment)
