The Sinogastromyzon puliensis is a unique hillstream loach known for its sucker-like mouth, which it uses to adhere to rocks and substrate in its fast-flowing habitat. Its calm temperament makes it suitable for community tanks, especially with other peaceful species. However, it appreciates well-aerated, clean water with strong currents simulated by a powerful water pump or filter.
