This beautiful loach displays white and black vertical stripes as a juvenile and gold and black reticulated patterns as an adult. It is very peaceful with dwarf shrimp, has a very active and outgoing personality, and is very hardy in a mature aquarium that is rich in algae and biofilm.
The panda loach is named after its close color resemblance to the Pandas. Donning white and black vertical stripes as a juvenile, the panda loach’s will lose its color pattern to slowly form a reticulated gold and black pattern as it grows older. The panda loach is an interesting fish to watch due to its activeness and personality. It is a river loach which means it requires higher flow rates, colder water temperatures, and rich oxygen levels. An interesting fact about this rare fish is that it is 100% shrimp safe. Its schooling pattern is also more noticeable as it matures.
