Botia striata “Zebra Loach”
Original price was: $10.00.$7.00Current price is: $7.00.
Described by Seriously Fish as “perhaps the best choice of Botia sp. for the general community given its adult size and peaceable nature”, the Zebra Loach, Botia straita, should be a welcome addition to any fishroom. They max out around 3.5″ in length. This species prefers the company of its own kind, and is very gregarious. I think a group of 6 probably makes the ideal setup, so I’d encourage you to purchase them in groups unless adding to a group already on hand. Loaches like this Zebra Loach are known for their ability to control (or even eliminate) snail populations, and these guys appear to be no exception.
