Proper Care for Zebra Loach

Ensure peaceful shoaling by keeping at least 5 Zebra Loaches in a community tank. Their delicate barbel area must be protected with a sandy substrate and plenty of hiding spots, such as bogwood, caves, and plants. Maintaining a clean and well-aerated tank is crucial for optimal health.

These loaches, also known as Candystripe Loaches, eagerly consume sinking catfish pellets, frozen foods like mosquito larvae, brineshrimp, and daphnia, and even vegetable matter like cucumber slices. They also have a taste for small aquatic snails.
