Description
The Burmese Border Loach is a striking freshwater fish known for its intricate black and white or brown and cream marbled pattern. These active and social bottom-dwellers thrive in groups of 5 or more, making them excellent additions to a community aquarium. They are diligent scavengers, helping to keep the substrate clean.
