Leptobotia rubrilabris

Leptobotia rubrilabris is a distinctive loach known for its vibrant red coloration on the upper lip. It is a bottom-dweller, often active during the day, and appreciates a tank with substrates that resemble its natural habitat, ideally sand or fine gravel with stones and vegetation. This species prefers to be kept with similar-sized and gentle tankmates as it can be somewhat territorial. Regular water changes and a stable environment are crucial for its wellbeing.
