Chinese hillstream loaches normally thrive in an aquatic environment with medium water hardness (12 dh maximum), with water temperatures from 68 °F to 75 °F (20 to 23.8 °C), and with pH readings ranging from 7.0 to 8.0. [3] A tank size of 36" (90 cm) minimum is preferable. [4] They can be kept in groups of three to seven. [4]
