Now that we've sorted out the bugs on our new website, and to thank you for your patience over the past few months, we're giving new and existing HSK customers an automatic 20% discount at checkout on our HSK stock through the end of the month.

You can also set up an account for faster checkout now and in the future.

We really do appreciate the HSK community and won't limit the number of our wonderful little animals that can be purchased.

Our goal is to have a new import by the end of September, with some amazing new river gems...

We can’t wait to see our wonderful little animals find their forever home.

Jason is our most cherished partner in China; the effort he puts into his work as a content creator, filmmaker, and naturalist in searching out and discovering rare, unique, and wonderful river gems to share with our HSK Family does not go unnoticed. Don't forget to give him a personal shout-out on our YouTube channel... he truly deserves all the praise... of course, we are biased!!

The short is on our YT channel along with all of Jason's amazing content and collaborations with Sam.

Over the past few weeks, Sam has received numerous questions via email, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram about the care and husbandry of hillstream loaches, gobies, and other stock we carry.

Many inquire about which species are compatible for tank living, quarantine procedures, proper water change techniques, the best food for HSK animals, tank setup, and recommended filters, among other topics.

We believe a live YouTube Q&A would be very helpful for our customers and potential customers who are unsure about how to care for our wonderful little animals.

Of course, Sam welcomes any and all questions, and we would love to reach a broader audience, especially those unfamiliar with HSK and the incredible stock we offer to U.S. aquarists.

Based on everyone's feedback, we will decide whether to schedule a live Q&A sometime next week.

Thoughts? Good idea? Would you be part of the live?

Share this post with any aquarists, aspiring aquarists, or anyone interested in learning more from Sam about the stock available on our website.: https://hillstreamkingdom.com

Jason does not disappoint. Another amazing short from our HSK YT Channel.

The medaka (Japanese rice fish) in this video are available on our new Hillstream Kingdom Website, which we are very proud of. Most of our followers know it has been a journey to finally be able to showcase all the amazing, rare Chinese animals we love and are proud to bring to the US.

Hello Hillstream Kingdom Family!
We know we have been MIA as Sam recovered from surgery. We are back in business, and our web designer assures us we will be live by next week. We're just as anxious as you are and can't wait until we no longer have to conduct our HSK sales via email.
Here is a short video of one of our many adorable, colorful, and very happy Pseudogastromyzon myzon Laticep purple fins heading to their new home in Florida.

Our new Aquatic Library Series just dropped! Give it a watch. Jason and Sam have outdone themselves with this one.

Hello, Hillstream Kingdom Family. We're so close to launching the website—just a few more tweaks from our web designer, and we'll be live on the World Wide Web.

Until then, please visit our YouTube channel. In our newest Aquatic Library series, Jason ventures into a mountain stream at night to reveal a hidden world most people have never seen. Premieres May 1st.

And our own Dr. Sam demonstrates how Pseudogastromyzon myersi can be kept in a home aquarium—discussing flow, oxygen, and structure.
