Hillstream Loach Pics

This guy has been a hard one to get a good pic of. He's finally decided on and claimed this cave, so now I can usually find him. Hangs out in the powerhead current quite a lot too, but it's been impossible to get a pic of him surfing the current.

Chinese Hillstream Loach, Borneo Sucker, Hong Kong Pleco, and Butterfly Loach are some other names it goes by. Not the freshwater flounder though! It's a little under two inches right now, but can grow to around three.
