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 Yellow Finned Sucker Loach is a bottom dwelling fish. The Loach's body shape allows it to point itself toward strong flow and stay attached to rocks. Yellow Finned Sucker Loaches 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. A 20-gallon aquarium is sufficient to house a small group of three to five, which is recommended. Substrate should be rounded pebbles, like those you would find in a river bottom, as well as larger rounded stones or boulders. Driftwood can be used, 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. A goal should be to maintain an environment that grows this algae readily. The Yellow Finned Sucker Loach is a peaceful fish and can be kept with other community minded fishes that enjoy the same habitat as Rasboras and Danios.

ACCLIMATION: 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. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, 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, unfiltered aquariums.
