Bloody Mary Hillstream Loach (Gastromyzon sp. ‘Bloody Mary’)

$29.99

The Bloody Mary Hillstream Loach (Gastromyzon sp. ‘Bloody Mary’) is smaller growing hillstream loach found in the fast-moving well-oxygenated streams of Borneo. In the aquarium, they are hardy fish as long as their wild habitat is replicated as closely as possible, with clean, well-aerated water and moderate to fast flow being essential to keep this species thriving long term. This species prefers slightly cooler water temperatures and soft, slightly acidic water. A grazer and opportunistic feeder, they should be given a varied diet high in algae or vegetable content like Repashy Gel Diet. A social fish like most loaches, they should be kept in groups of at least 5.
