The tiger hillstream loach, Sewellia lineolata, is a gastromyzontid loach from fast-flowing headwaters in Vietnam and on the Mekong in Laos. Three to five dark stripes on the body make it difficult to confuse with any other member of the genus. The water must be clean, fast-flowing and well-oxygenated, and Sewellia species are arguably the easiest of all loaches to breed in aquaria.
