Redfin Tiger Loach
Botia Berdmorei
The redfin loach is a rare fish to see available in aquariums. A lovely little loach that, despite being rare, is pretty easy to keep and makes a lovely addition to any clean up crew in a tank. These are going to need a nice rocky substrate, plenty of rocks with the fast flow going through them. Please make sure that the tank is dimly lit as they can stress easily.
