Reticulated Borneo Sucker Loach (Gastromyzon sp.)

$22.99

A beautifully marked hillstream loach found in fast-moving streams in Western Borneo, the Reticulated Borneo Sucker is typically found among rocks in well-oxygenated waters. 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. They should be kept in groups of at least 3 and will typically get along well with other hillstream loach species.
