Received the fish in perfect condition. The pink fins and polkadot pattern are very striking. It’s active and seems healthy after a week in the tank. Great addition to my community aquarium.

This is one of the rarest loaches I’ve seen. The fish is vibrant and active. It’s been eating algae and seems to be adjusting well to the flow in my stream tank.

Arrived quickly and the fish looked healthy. The coloration is exactly as described. I’m still adjusting the water flow to match its natural habitat, but it’s already showing interest in the substrate.
