Dwarf Chain Loaches are an ideal choice for the smaller peaceful aquarium community. They are best maintained in large shoals, 5 being considered the minimum number. The substrate should consist of fine sand in order to protect the delicate barbel area, and it should be furnished with numerous hiding places amongst bogwood, caves, and aquatic plants. Dwarf Chain Loaches exhibit an unusual trait for Botiid loaches ““ that of shoaling above the bottom of the aquarium, and often openly during daylight hours. Clean, well-aerated water is essential, and 10-15% water changes should be carried out twice weekly. This species is considered Critically Endangered in its native Thailand, and is now being bred on a large scale (thought to be via some form of hormone treatment) in the far East, in order to take pressure off of the remaining wild stocks. Virtually all fish now offered for sale in the trade are captive-bred.
