Serpenticobitis octozona, commonly known as the Serpent Loach, is a fascinating freshwater fish native to the Xe Kong watershed of the lower Mekong basin in Laos.
- Size: It can grow up to 6.5 cm (2.6 inches) in length
- Habitat: Prefers clear, high-gradient waters with swift currents, often found in rocky riverbeds surrounded by gallery forests
- Water Parameters: Requires soft, slightly acidic water with a pH of 6.0-7.0 and a temperature range of 23-26°C
- Diet: Feeds on small meaty frozen foods like mosquito larvae, daphnia, and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, as well as small sinking pellets and granules

These loaches are quite active and require a well-filtered aquarium with high oxygen levels and plenty of rocky crevices to mimic their natural habitat. They are a unique and rewarding species for enthusiasts of Asian riverine fish.
