Gastromyzon lepidogaster
Borneo Sucker, Loach, Hillstream Loach
Gastromyzon lepidogaster is an ideal candidate for aquariums with a riverine setup due to its preference for strong currents and oxygen-rich waters. A well-aerated tank with a substrate ranging from pebbles to sand is recommended. Providing ample hiding spaces using rocks and driftwood can help recreate its natural environment. They are generally peaceful but require other similar fast-running water species to thrive alongside.
