The smallest and cutest "Freshwater stingray" you can have. Great video.

[@MbunaMarcus]

+colinbarsby Agreed lol...these little guys are a bundle of joy :) Thanks for watching :)

[@T_bomb99]

Very cool fish

[@MbunaMarcus]

+MASS Aquariums Thanks again Bro ;)

[@NYCityCichlids]

Such a character. I like the playful music for this species profile.

[@MbunaMarcus]

+NYCity Cichlids Thanks NY...I had to search a lot of music until I felt I found the right one. Their movements are so jittery...they just didn't match up well with most choices :)

[@user-hd5nk7te9s]

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Corey Hecker Thanks Corey...great fish to own...very bizarre :)

[@raveedajtechakaisri4019]

When this loach is moving it seems like a stop motion video lol ! :)

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Raveedaj Techakaisri Exactly lol....finding music that was appropriate was the hard part :)

[@pelphrey]

That little dude is getting it!

[@MbunaMarcus]

+pelphrey Sure is...roams the tank like he owns it lol

[@ivoryqueen7000]

Cool fish!

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Ivory Queen Thanks IQ :)

[@mikenichols5607]

Awesome fish. Always wondered about these guys. Now I know.

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Mike Nichols Lol...thanks Mike :)

[@BenOchart]

Hardest working fish in show business. Very cool little guy.

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Ben Ochart That I do agree with...thanks for watching :)

[@Hannah-hr4ke]

do these get along with fancy goldfish?

[@ivygreenstables4407]

I love these oddballs probably one of my favourite fish! Great fun to watch :) and mines very friendly

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Ivy green stables Yeah, these guys are wonderful...I can see myself doing a tank full of them ;)

[@ivygreenstables4407]

+Mbuna Marcus - Aquariums, Cichlids and More omg yes you should! That would be sick!!!!

[@dwsdarius]

Awesome fish! Do they hide as much as plecos?

[@MbunaMarcus]

+dwsdarius These guys are more active...would be amazing in your planted tanks...they breed easy too :)

[@erick6102]

That was perfect music for that little guy! Just like a Charlie Chaplin film !

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Eric K thanks Eric...I went through mountains of music to get the song right lol...thanks for watching

[@tuskguy]

Another great video Mbuna Marcus,,,this fish has always been one of my many favorites..I would nick name mine "all terrain roomba fish"..but that's just me...

[@MbunaMarcus]

+tuskguy Lol thanks Tusk...I've been really intrigued by these guys...and they seem to do well and breed easily in the aquarium. I'd like to try it out :) Thanks for watching

[@camilogiraldo155]

hi Mr marcus I just want to ask you about my red hook silver dollars and I hope that with your experience with this fishes help. so here is the thing; I have 6 silver dollars 5 females and 1 male, the male keeps the females either on the corners or hiding except for the moments that I feed them or do the water changes in which they school together, beside of those moments they never school; they are between 5 and 4 inches and currently stay in a 75 gallon aquarium. what should I do to make them school normally? or is that their normal behaviour? they've been there for about 4 months now. thanks in advance and great species profiles you're making and I really like this loach.

[@MbunaMarcus]

+CaMiLo EsTeBaN I've never had had my silver dollars school either...they hangout more then school. You might find the 75 will get quite cramped as they grow out. I'd say this is normal behaviour.

[@camilogiraldo155]

Ok thank you. And eventually they'll be moved at some point to a bigger tank.

[@irishzx9r]

great video I never noticed how nice these are till now the music really fits in well thanks for sharing with us. as always keep up the good work.

[@MbunaMarcus]

+James Feenan Thanks again James...it was very hard finding appropriate music for this guy lol. Thanks for watching :)

[@FortWayneFishTanks]

Love these guys!

[@MbunaMarcus]

+FortWayne Fishtanks Thanks again for watching...hard little fish to beat :)

[@CypressPhotoStudio]

👏👏👏👏nice .

[@ADUAquascaping]

It's pattern reminds me of a morel mushroom. Looks like it is pretty happy in your tank. I had one for about three years, but then it just died. I think my tank got to be too clean after adding more grazers.

[@WanjiJibei]

looks more like a mini ray then a loach. lolz

[@zakk-kaye]

That's why I like them :)

[@sirenicsiren3367]

That's why I have 3 in my tank. I love my little rays.

[@theirishman8455]

How easy is their care, what food do they best prefer and healthiest for them?

[@FmellyFish]

Thats a nice fish!

[@christobuys2131]

Isn't it butterfly plecos?

[@MbunaMarcus]

Not a pleco, actually more a loach

[@JB-wg9zj]

They are so pleco like that I should love them. They make me feel uneasy. To me it looks like it wants to suck onto my face. :) just creepy. However the video you shot was great.

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Jef B (808fishkeeper) Lol...yeah these guys are brutal to net off the glass...probably be the same if it was your face lol

[@CypressPhotoStudio]

😆

[@Xavier_915]

That's a cool looking fish!!! would it be ok in a cichclid tank?

[@riff1957]

+SergioVasquez CichlidGuy915 My male kribensis chased it at first, but after a few minutes left it alone.

[@bettledroyd6376]

Sorry I'm late but if it's in a cichlid tank might be wise to provide some hiding spots like a fake cave.

[@abdul-karimrazzaq5366]

I have some, they’re soo cool and tend to glide a lot from my plants

[@rebeccascott9626]

I have one as well we thought they looked like mini sharks by the colour but when mine is stuck to the glass he looks like an elephant , the tail for the trunk 😂. And when ever you scream "Swift" he will flap his lil fins and pose for a picture

[@nachosinmay]

How well to they clean the sand?

[@J.Santos.7]

Just bought 2 of these today! Hope they do well. 😁

[@Caaads]

Can this fish be keep with discus?

[@mccity5187]

will these guys be ok in an african cichlid tank?

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Mc City Nope..these guys are perfect for a peaceful tank...cichlids will eat them like spaghetti ;)

[@mccity5187]

+Mbuna Marcus - Aquariums, Cichlids and More that sucks, I'm fairly new to the hobby but i keep seeying all these beautiful fish i want and the realize I'll have to set up a new tank if i wabt to keep them.

[@MbunaMarcus]

I know the feeling too well ;)

[@Higherthansuperman]

trippy fish

[@MbunaMarcus]

+AgsAquariums Thanks Mate...they are super cool :)

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

Have you ever tried breeding them? I understand some are from very remote locations!

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Ricky Kenerly Cichlids There is a guy in town who is actually...the babies are insane cute :D

[@RickyKenerlyCichlids]

That is cool you are able to see them!

[@anonchan3019]

I thought they were impossible to breed? the guy breeding them should say how he does it so they become more mainstream

[@charliejohnson5112]

Whats the difference between a Hillstream loach and a Borneo Sucker? (Please Answer)

[@joshualiang3954]

Aqua Soldier they are the same

[@optimystic5839]

bought mine yesterday morning, cute little thing very happy exploring on rocks and and then the glass. Went work all day, got back home midnight and see that it's missing from the tank, then notice a dried up solid lump out on the table. Why? just why.

[@jag_meistermeister4839]

Wow bad luck m8

[@yenyaoming]

what's the fish in your logo?

[@youngwoodsman4110]

i saw a few f these online i shoulda picked em up... they were my first algea eater but got stuck in a shell so be carefull

[@JoLeoTA79]

I have a hill stream loach for some reason the pet store I go to calls them butterfly plecos.

[@MbunaMarcus]

+Joe “MACichlidJOE” Leone Yup, that was the common name when they first came out...some shops still call them that :)

[@TomTvartom]

Nice video! What music is it?

[@Borkeen2024]

will they eat rcs shrimp?

[@MbunaMarcus]

I don't think they would...but shrimp are very tempting for most fish to try out lol

[@longchhay1239]

What food do they it?

[@MbunaMarcus]

I find mine scavenge sinking pellets quite well. They like algae also :)

[@ant.sn9543]

I had a loach and a pacu did not turn out well

[@sessiztepe3350]

omggggg wonder

[@j.colbyexum9175]

I need one in my tank I just need to get rid of my red tailed shark
