Gastromyzon introrsus
Borneo Sucker, Hillstream Loach
Gastromyzon introrsus is often sought after in aquarium settings for its interesting appearance and behavior. It is best suited to environments mimicking its native habitat – cool, well-oxygenated water with strong currents, abundant rocks, and hiding places. This fish often grazes on algae and other biofilms that grow on smooth surfaces. It can be kept with other peaceful species that thrive in similar conditions. Careful consideration of water quality is crucial for their well-being, paying special attention to stability in temperature, pH, and hardness.
