Description
Borneo Sucker Loaches hail from fast-flowing streams and rivers and grow to around 5–6cm in length. Small, streamlined, and endlessly busy, they spend their time picking over rocks and substrate, making them a fascinating addition to a well-oxygenated community setup.
Special requirements: These loaches are adapted to life in high-flow environments and require strong water movement and excellent filtration to thrive, stagnant or low-oxygen conditions will stress them. A tank furnished with smooth river pebbles, cobbles, and robust plants will suit them well. They are peaceful with other species but can be mildly competitive with their own kind, so keep a small group with plenty of visual breaks in the decor.
Diet: Borneo Sucker Loaches are omnivores. At Wirral Aquatics we feed ours EBO Pro Soft Artemia, insect meal and seafood. They also enjoy live food such as daphnia and baby brine shrimp.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
