Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is a fascinating species known for its behavior of responding to changes in barometric pressure, often resulting in the name 'Weather Loach.' They are peaceful and social fish and thrive in groups. Provide plenty of hiding spots and a substrate they can burrow in. They may jump, so a secured lid is recommended. The species is also praised for its hardiness, making it an excellent choice for beginner aquarists.
