The Pangio pangia is a curious and peaceful loach species, often hiding and burrowing in substrate or decoration during the day and becoming active at night. It is crucial to maintain good water quality with a low to moderate current and to provide abundant hiding spaces. Their social nature means they should ideally be kept in groups of at least 5-6 specimens. A well-planted tank with fine substrate and subdued lighting mimics their natural habitat and promotes well-being.
