Acanthocobitis pavonacea

Acanthocobitis pavonacea, also known as the Zodiac Loach, is a peaceful species well-regarded for its distinct appearance and vibrant coloring. Care should be taken to provide a tank environment with flowing water, plenty of hiding places, and a sandy or smooth substrate to accommodate its bottom-dwelling nature. These vibrant loaches can be kept in groups in a sufficiently large aquarium, ensuring they have areas to establish territories. They are compatible with a variety of peaceful community tank mates.
