The Stack was built to house my Modestas, Hymenophysas, and a river tank for
hillstream loaches. Given their reputation for aggression I wasn't prepared to risk
upsetting the peaceful nature of the Hilton by adding 9 nippy botias, and the
hillstreams definitely needed their own environment to do well. All three tanks are
identical in size.
