Blue Zebra Borneo Loach (Gastromyzon)

Description

 

The Blue Zebra Borneo Loach, scientifically known as Gastromyzon , is a freshwater fish species native to Borneo. 

  1. Temperature: The optimal temperature for Zebra Loaches is typically between 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C). They prefer warmer water conditions.

  2. Minimum Tank Size: A minimum tank size of 20 gallons is recommended for a small group of Zebra Loaches. These fish are active swimmers, and providing adequate space is essential for their well-being.

Feeding Habits:  Blue Zebra Borneo Loach are omnivores, and they accept a variety of foods. They enjoy a diet that includes high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, frozen or live foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and vegetable matter. Providing a varied diet is essential for their health.

Habitat Preference: Zebra Loaches are found in fast-flowing streams and rivers with rocky substrates in their natural habitat. Therefore, replicate this in the aquarium by providing them with a well-aerated tank and substrate that allows for burrowing.

Water pH Level: They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. Aim for a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.

Behavior: Zebra Loaches are known for their active and playful behavior. They are social fish that thrive in the company of their own kind. It's advisable to keep them in groups of at least three individuals.

Zebra Loaches are social and should be kept in groups. They tend to be more active and display their natural behaviors when kept in a school. Avoid keeping them alone, as it may lead to stress.

Zebra Loaches are primarily bottom-dwellers. They often explore the substrate, rocks, and other hiding spots in the lower areas of the tank.

Color: Zebra Loaches are named for the distinctive dark and light stripes along their bodies. These stripes give them a zebra-like appearance, and the overall coloration can vary from olive to brown.

Other Details: Provide hiding spots and caves in the aquarium, as Zebra Loaches appreciate having places to retreat and feel secure. Regular water changes are essential to maintain good water quality. Be cautious with sharp decorations or substrate, as these fish can injure themselves while burrowing.
