Horseface loach
Acanthopsis dialuzona
Horseface loaches, are freshwater fish native to Southeast Asia, particularly India and surrounding regions. They are known for their distinctive horse-like face and are peaceful bottom-dwelling fish, making them a popular choice for community aquariums.
They have a long, somewhat horse-like snout, giving them their name. Bottom-Dwelling: They spend most of their time on the bottom of the aquarium, sifting through substrate and burrowing in the sand. They are generally peaceful and non-aggressive, making them suitable for community tanks.
Lifespan: They can live for 7 years or more.
Size: They grow to a maximum size of about 8 inches. but 6″ is more common.
Burrowing Behavior: They enjoy burrowing in sand and may uproot live plants if they are not potted.
They are omnivores and will eat live, frozen, and commercial fish foods. They particularly enjoy live foods like Tubifex worms, Enchytraea, and mosquito larvae. They are generally not picky eaters and will readily accept various types of food. Loaches do best in a mature aquarium with stable water chemistry, as they are sensitive to rapidly changing conditions. They require clean, oxygen-rich water, so good filtration and frequent partial water changes are important.
Substrate: They prefer a sandy or gravel substrate to burrow in. They prefer subdued lighting and benefit from floating plants. They should be kept with other peaceful species, especially those that don’t frequent the bottom of the tank.
