Pictures of fish and fish in store may vary, these are just examples/fully grown fish

These Loaches lives in pebble-bottomed streams with shallow, fast-flowing water, and often found at fairly high altitudes. May arrive mixed with other Nemacheilus or Schistura species. Likely to be territorial and should be kept with robust, fast-swimming fish.

The aquarium should have a decent flow rate and be well-oxygenated. A substrate of fine sand to allow digging and lots of smooth rounded pebbles and numerous shelters such as bogwood and slate. Reasonably bright lighting to simulate the shallow stream beds in which they are found.
