Zebra Candy Stripe Loach Botia Striata 4cm

Overview: The Zebra Candy Stripe Loach is a slender, elongated fish characterized by its vibrant, contrasting stripes that resemble candy canes. With their playful behavior and engaging presence, these loaches are sure to become a focal point in your aquarium.

Origin: Hailing from the rivers of India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar, Zebra Candy Stripe Loaches thrive in the tropical climates of Southeast Asia. Their natural habitat includes slow-moving waters with sandy or gravel substrates.

Feeding: These loaches are omnivores with a hearty appetite. Offer them a varied diet consisting of high-quality pellets, flakes, and live or frozen foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp. Incorporating a mix of foods ensures optimal health and coloration.

Tank Mates: Zebra Candy Stripe Loaches are generally peaceful but thrive best in the company of their own kind. Keeping them in groups of three or more is recommended to encourage their social behavior. Compatible tank mates include other non-aggressive species like rasboras, tetras, and dwarf cichlids.

Aggression: These loaches are known for their amicable nature, making them suitable for community aquariums. However, they may display territorial behavior, especially during breeding periods. Provide plenty of hiding spots and retreats to mitigate any potential conflicts.

Experience Level: Suitable for both intermediate and experienced aquarists, the Zebra Candy Stripe Loach requires attention to water quality and proper care. Their activity level and schooling behavior make them a rewarding choice for those looking to enhance their aquarium with an engaging species.

Water Parameters: Maintain a well-filtered aquarium with stable water parameters. Zebra Candy Stripe Loaches prefer temperatures between 75-86°F (24-30°C), a pH range of 6.5-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water. Regular water changes are essential for their health and vitality.

Invite the captivating charm of the Zebra Candy Stripe Loach into your aquarium and enjoy the lively energy and mesmerizing beauty they bring to your aquatic haven.
