Siberian Spiny Loach

$15.00Price

The Siberian spiny loach, Acantopsis choirorhynchos, is a unique and captivating freshwater fish native to the rivers and streams of Siberia and surrounding regions. Known for its distinctive appearance, this loach typically features an elongated, slender body that can reach lengths of up to 6 inches. Its most striking feature is its spiny dorsal fin and the presence of small, bony plates along its body, which provide both protection and a unique texture.
 

Siberian spiny loaches are primarily nocturnal and tend to be shy during the day, often seeking refuge among rocks, plants, and other hiding spots in the aquarium. They are social fish that thrive in groups, making them best suited for community tanks with plenty of cover. These loaches prefer slightly cooler water temperatures, ranging from 65-75°F, and a pH between 6.0-7.5.
 

As omnivores, Siberian spiny loaches enjoy a varied diet that includes high-quality pellets, flakes, and a mix of live or frozen foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp. Their unique appearance, interesting behavior, and adaptability to various aquarium conditions make them a fascinating addition to freshwater aquariums, providing both visual interest and a lively dynamic to community setups.
