Description
The Panda Garra is a striking and hardy freshwater fish known for its unique panda-like black and white banding, algae-grazing behavior, and active personality. Originating from fast-flowing mountain streams in Myanmar, the Panda Garra is a favorite among aquarists looking for an eye-catching, functional fish that helps keep algae in check. They need very well-oxygenated water. The easiest way to keep oxygen levels high in an aquarium is to maintain high overturn and keep the temperature low. Outside of the flow requirements, tanks needn't be too large; a 30-gallon aquarium would be sufficient to house a small group of three to five, which is how we recommend keeping them. Driftwood can be utilized, but it should be old so it doesn't stain the water. Their primary food source in the wild is benthic algae as well as the little critters consumed with it. One of your primary goals as a fish keeper in regard to feeding them is to maintain an environment that grows this algae readily.
