Care notes
Tiny rosy-pink loach with playful personality. Males develop brighter coloration. Best kept in groups of 10+; thrives in cooler planted tanks. Safe with adult shrimp. Peaceful nano gem.
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.
