Horsefaced Loach

[mark7616]

how would these get on in an mbuna tank as i saw some today and they live under the substrate only occasionally coming out so i wondered how these would do in a tank with mbuna as my plec is doing well so wondered how these would do?

Acantopsis choirorhynchus need, like most sand loaches, a fast flowing "stream" set up.
they are also sub-tropical so need cooler waters than cichlids.
I'm not sure what there max pH range would be but I'm sure a cichlid set up would be too high too.

off the top of my head I can't think of any similar loach that wpuld be ok in a munba set up.

Got ya just saw some today and thought they would be ideal as they are pretty much out of the way.

I have just added 2 marbled bichirs to my mbuna setup and they seem to have settled
