Gecko Loach
Homaloptioede smitheri

 

aka:  Lizard Loach, Green Gecko, Black Gecko

You will love these loaches! Easy to care for!  Stock in numbers as they live in colonies!

Homalopteroides smithi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Homalopteroides. It can be found in the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins and Malay Peninsula. Excellent algae eaters, and bottom scavengers.

Feeding: Most foods accepted. Sinking formulas and bottom-dwelling live-foods. Bloodworm/Brine shrimp.

In the aquarium, to duplicate the natural habitat of these loaches, it is best to offer high oxygen levels by providing excellent water-flow, adequate aeration & plenty of hiding places inside the tank. This fish loves to feast on algae growth! Anubias plant species and Microsorum pteropus are great choices for plants that will tolerate a high water flow which can also be grown on rocks or driftwood.

Stocking suggestion is 1 per 5 gallons of water.
