Gecko Loach
The Gecko Loach is a bottom dwelling fish, native to fast moving, shallow, clear water streams. The Loach's body shape allows it to point itself toward flow and yet stay attached to rocks in fast current while grazing on the surface films that grow there. Gecko Loaches need very well-oxygenated water. Outside of the flow requirements, tanks needn't be too large; a 20-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. Feeding the Gecko Loach is pretty straightforward. 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 these Loaches is to maintain an environment that grows this alga readily. The Gecko Loach is a peaceful fish and can be kept with other community minded fishes.
