Red Lizard Saddleback Loach (Homaloptera orthogoniata) 6-10cm

Description

Homaloptera orthogoniata, commonly known as the Red Lizard Saddle-back Loach, is a fascinating species of freshwater fish. Here are some interesting facts about it:

  • Habitat: This loach is native to the island of Borneo, specifically found in swiftly-flowing streams and headwaters with clear, oxygen-saturated water. It prefers shallow zones with substrates composed of gravel, rocks, and boulders.
  • Appearance: It has three distinct saddles across its back, which is a key identifier. The maximum size of specimens from Borneo appears to be around 95 mm.
  • Aquarium Care: They require clean, well-oxygenated water with high flow rates. An aquarium with base dimensions of 120 ∗ 30 cm or equivalent is recommended for long-term maintenance. They are peaceful and best kept in groups of their own kind 
  • Diet: These loaches are herbivorous, feeding mainly on biofilm and algae
