Crossocheilus burmanicus

Crossocheilus burmanicus is known for its algae-eating abilities, making it popular in freshwater aquariums to control algae growth. Despite its utilitarian appeal, it is an active and interesting fish that requires a spacious tank due to its active swimming nature. A tank with rigorous filtration, ample swimming space, and some shelter like rocks or caves is ideal. They are generally peaceful but are best kept with other non-aggressive species.
