Tiger Loach

green Tiger Loach

Tiger Loaches can be aggressive and should not be kept with much smaller fishes as its size, and its playful nature may threaten them. The best tankmates for this fish are those that are robust and fast-swimming.

 

Slow-moving, long-finned species such as guppies, bettas and many cichlids should also be avoided as flowing fins can get nipped.

The Tiger Loach has a browny-tan body decorated with 12-15 vertical bars with iridescent greenish-blue borders that start at the dorsal surface with the bottom of the bars finishing further forwards towards the front of the fish and displays a dark blotch on their dorsal fin.
