Scissortail Loach Vaillantella Maassi 8cm

Overview: The Scissortail Loach, also known as Vaillantella Maassi, is a slender and elongated species with striking, scissor-like tail fins. Their distinct appearance and social nature make them an enchanting addition to any freshwater aquarium.

Origin: Hailing from the river systems of Borneo and Sumatra, these loaches thrive in environments with moderate to strong currents. Mimicking their natural habitat will ensure their well-being and bring out their vibrant colors and playful behavior.

Feeding: Scissortail Loaches are omnivores, relishing a varied diet that includes high-quality pellets, flakes, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms. A well-balanced diet will enhance their health and showcase their lively personalities.

Tank Mates: Known for their peaceful demeanor, Scissortail Loaches make excellent community tank members. Ideal tank mates include other peaceful species such as tetras, rasboras, and gouramis. Avoid keeping them with aggressive or territorial fish to maintain harmony in the aquarium.

Aggression: Scissortail Loaches are non-aggressive and prefer the company of their own kind. Keeping them in groups of five or more will encourage their natural schooling behavior and ensure they feel secure in their environment.

Experience Level: Suitable for aquarists of varying experience levels, the Scissortail Loach is a hardy species that adapts well to different tank setups. Novice and seasoned enthusiasts alike will find joy in caring for these graceful loaches.

Water Parameters: Maintaining water conditions reflective of their native habitats is crucial for the well-being of Scissortail Loaches. Aim for a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5, a temperature between 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C), and provide clean, well-oxygenated water with a moderate to strong flow.

Bring the allure of Southeast Asian rivers into your aquarium with the Scissortail Loach – a species that effortlessly combines beauty, sociability, and ease of care. Dive into the world of aquatic wonder as you welcome these stunning loaches into your aquatic realm.
