Common name/s: Tiger Loach

Scientific name: Botia berdmorei

Family: Cobitidae

Origin: Thailand, Burma.

Maximum size: 6-8"

Care: This is one of the few aggressive Botias and should only be kept one specimen per tank or more if space and caves are provided, so each fish can stake out a terriotry. They are not specific of water conditions just needing low nitrate and ammonia levels and a PH of 6.5-7.5.

Feeding: Prefer live and frozen foods and will often only except this at first but they can soon be trained on to sinking pellets and flakes. But be sure to always include live and frozen foods in their diet.

Sexing and Breeding: Unknown

Comments: A nice rare and attractive Botia, but remember its size and temperament.
