I didn't want to hijack the Check In thread, but did want to show @Kwyet that my hillstream loach isn't exactly being welcoming to the 3 new juli cories I added 4 days ago. It's a 55 gallon community tank, hillstream has been in it for a year. This is the first time I've added other fish since I got the hillstream loach. Up til now he was fine.

I took a short video. Hoping this link works: Hillstream loach aggression

Hoping he chills out, but also worried about being able to catch him if I do decide to rehome him. He's one fast swimmer.

Hints on catching fish that swim 500mph welcomed, as well as any ideas on getting him to take a chill pill. I have been adding additional sinking food in case he's feeling food insecure.
 
What a stinker, lol! Maybe if you got 2-3 more they would pay attention to themselves instead of the Cory cats? I will be sure not to buy any Cory cats for my hillstream tank. Thanks and good luck!
