Beautiful panda-like black and white banding. Hillstream adapted; high oxygen and moderate flow preferred. Active benthic algae grazer. Hardy and increasingly popular. Cool water species.

Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
