 Common Name/s: Clown Loach Scientific name: Botia macracanthus Family: Cobitidae Origin: Indonesia, Sumatra, Borneo Maximum Size: 12" (generally smaller). Care: A hardy Botia that demands little. Be sure to buy a group as they are a very social fish. Four or more is best. A nice peaceful Loach suitable for nearly all peaceful community tanks. A tank of at least 55gallons is recommended. Feeding: Will accept most foods. Be sure to feed frozen foods too. In my experience they also love a slice of cucumber every week or so. Sexing and Breeding: No detailed breeding reports in captivity. Comments: A seasoned favourite with alot of aquarists for its wonderful colour and active personality. But do remember their potentail size when considering this Botia. |
