Description
The Stone Loach is a hardy, bottom-dwelling freshwater fish native to cool, clear streams across Europe and parts of Asia. It features a mottled, camouflaged body and barbels around its mouth, which it uses to forage for food among substrate. These peaceful omnivores are excellent scavengers, making them interesting additions to a cool-water community tank.
