Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Redtail Loach scavenges the bottom of the aquarium looking for leftover food. They can be semi aggressive towards other fish, but multiple loaches can be added to one aquarium. The Redtail Loach is considered a "scale-less fish," which means they can be more susceptible to diseases like Ich. Slower acclimation and pristine water conditions will help reduce the chance of diseases. Provide an environment with lots of caves and hiding places for this loach to sleep in. Adding this loach to an aquarium with sandy substrate or fine gravel with plants will help mimic their natural environment. For continued health, feed this loach a mix of frozen Bloodworms and high-quality sinking pellets.

- Care Level: Moderate
- Temperament: Semi-aggressive
- Minimum Tank Size: 50 gallons (depends on how many are added to the aquarium)
- Max. Size: 9"
- Diet: Omnivore
- Provide an environment with plenty of hiding places

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
