The Red Tailed Blue Loach is a slender, streamlined fish with striking blue and yellow hues that beautifully accentuate its distinctive red tail. With its active and playful nature, this loach is sure to captivate both novice and experienced aquarists alike.
Origin: Hailing from the freshwater rivers and streams of Southeast Asia, the Red Tailed Blue Loach brings a touch of the exotic to your aquarium. Originating from regions like Thailand and Malaysia, these loaches thrive in environments with flowing water and plenty of hiding spots.
Feeding: These loaches are omnivores, relishing a varied diet. Treat them to high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, and occasional live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. Ensuring a well-balanced diet enhances their vibrant colors and overall health.
Tank Mates: Red Tailed Blue Loaches are social creatures that enjoy the company of their own kind. Keep them in groups of three or more to witness their playful interactions. They generally get along well with other peaceful community fish, but avoid housing them with overly aggressive or territorial species.
Aggression: While generally peaceful, these loaches may exhibit occasional territorial behavior, especially during feeding time or when establishing their hiding spots. Provide sufficient hiding places to alleviate potential conflicts, ensuring a harmonious aquarium environment.
Experience Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists, the Red Tailed Blue Loach requires a bit more attention to water quality and tank setup. Novice aquarists can successfully keep them with proper research and commitment to maintaining optimal conditions.
Water Parameters: Maintain a well-filtered aquarium with stable water parameters. The Red Tailed Blue Loach thrives in temperatures ranging from 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C) and prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH levels (6.0 to 7.5). Provide moderate water flow to replicate their natural habitat.

Nice searchable website, plenty of stock, reasonably priced next day delivery, well packaged. Slightly more detail would have been nice as I bought 32mm thinking that was the external diameter but I suspect most people buying these items would know that. :)

Such a great service. Bought a fish tank Ciano emotions 150 Pro and it's arrived very well packed just 2 days after purchase. After 2 weeks i had an issue with light power supply which has been replaced straight away after I reported that to customer service. They look afyer customers and always replied very quickly if you have any problem. Strongly recommended!!!
