Aquatics expert Tom Sarac provides an in-depth overview of the zebra loach! Endemic to mountain streams and rivers in the Western Ghats in India, this medium-sized loach is active, curious and full of personality. A social species, it does best in larger aquariums with lots of structure and plants to swim through and explore, a varied, omnivorous diet, and a tight-fitting lid to prevent jumping. Watch the video to learn more about caring for the zebra loach!
