The Zebra Loach will scavenge the bottom of the aquarium looking for leftover food. They are easy to care for, fun to observe and have a unique pattern. They're active and energetic with distinct personalities, which makes them an excellent addition to large community tanks. They can be semi aggressive towards other fish, but multiple loaches can be added to one aquarium. Their adult size is larger than the cory cat, so be sure the aquarium is large enough. They are more active at night than during the day but are still more active during the day than most members of the loach family. The Zebra Loach is considered a "scale-less fish," which means they can be more susceptible to diseases like Ich. Provide an environment with lots of caves and hiding places for this loach to sleep in.

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.

My zebra looking cold water fish looks like it’s got cotton wool on it, it’s come on over the day, what do I do and how can it treat the fish
Recently one of my Dojo Loaches have developed a weird issue with its eyes. I have 3 others who are doing completely fine. My water parameters are based around what they need and the temp too. I did a water change as well to see if that would help but havent seen any progress and I believe it is getting worse. I'm going to quarantine it for now. What could be this be? I'm struggleing to find a specific answer for this. I attached pictures of the sick loach and one of my healthy ones.
I have 3 Fancy Goldfish; Spot, Zedar and Monty. Monty has 2 white lumps on his head was swimming before but is lying inside the ship all the time. Spot is all white with black and orange spots it was spastic swimming but still eating. Then got swim bladder but still eating. Then started staying in the ship, now just lying on the tank floor. Spot was showing signs before Monty. Zedar seems to be fine but occasionally taking large gulps at the top of the tank and while in the water. What is this?
I got 3 zebra danios and 2 leopard danios at petco and in about a day of having them one died. the next day another dies with a strange white spot growing on it. it was not like cotton through which I hear is a disease. my tank is a 20 gallon and before I introduced the new danios I had 3 pearl danios and 2 plecos and the were doing very well and seemed to be in perfect health. well one of my pearl danios died after the new fish came to no obvious elements. and now my 2 plecos died.the same way
I have a 26 gallon tank which have 1 adult Texas fish, 3 adult silver sharks and 2 small 3'' tiger Oscars. I have brought another tank of about 10 gallons which have only 1 loach in it. How can I arrange the fishes in between two tanks so that all can live without any problem.. kindly assist me. Thanking you, SRIJIT GHOSH
Hi, I had a bettas fish and a clown pleco. A day after doing a complete cleaning of the tank, my better fish died and my pleco started acting weird. I tested the water. Ph 7, ammonia 0, nitrate 0, nitrite 0. He is not eating, his skin started to look like white, like shedding? And now is like coming off. Also, his belly is bloated. I attached pictures.
I’m getting a 20 gallln tank and I would like to know what are the best tropical freshwater fish that I could get? I would like to get a pleco, but he would get to big for my tank, so I’m wondering if I could donate him to my locomotive petco in The Dalles Oregon? Thank you I love PetCoach!!!
I dont know if you are a tropical fish specialist. But there is something going on in my tank and need help diagnosing it. My corydora has two raised growths ..one at the base of its fin. And one under the eye. My pleco seems a bit tattered too. A little flashing was happening with my yoyo loach also. That's now stopped after a water change.
My golden dojo loach (fish) accidentally swallowed one of my smaller fish, he is choking and I don’t know what to do there is no fish vet near me please help what do I do
I have two male fish that I'm not sure of the breed there names are Ben(Benny) and Rosco can u please help
Hi, I bought 6 platy fish and a black corydora catfish about 2 weeks ago, all seem in good health bright colours and swimming round as normal they are in a 48l tank which the pet store said was a big enough tank for them all, but one of them seems to be loosing his scales or I’m afraid he may have itch but it dosent look like it I hope you can help,thanks.
Hello I’m not sure if I have came to the right place, but I have a few questions about my zebra nerite snails in my fish tank. I don’t know if they can reproduce I only have one in my tank but I was wandering what these small snail like creatures are and if they are a threat to my other fish in my tank. I have been looking these up and I can’t quite wonder what they are. Thank you for your service
