Syncrossus berdmorei

Syncrossus berdmorei, (formerly Botia berdmorei), is a freshwater loach from Thailand. Unlike most loaches Syncrossus berdmorei is very aggressive, especially when food is added to the aquarium. The preferred water parameters for this fish is a neutral pH (7) and for the temperature to be in the 70sF. Syncrossus berdmorei grows up to seven and half inches (19 cm) and can be kept in private aquariums.

In an aquarium only one Syncrossus berdmorei should be kept per tank and feed live or frozen foods. Also be sure to have hiding places like caves, which will make Syncrossus berdmorei feel more secure.
