Received the Rosy Loach in perfect condition. It’s tiny but very active and adds a lot of charm to my 10-gallon planted tank. The fish seems to be adjusting well and swims around constantly, which is exactly what I wanted for a lively nano species.
Connor Hunter –
This is one of the rarest loaches I’ve seen. The coloration is vibrant and it’s very curious. It’s a great fit for a small, planted aquarium and doesn’t seem stressed at all after arrival.

The fish arrived quickly via UPS. It’s active and seems healthy. A bit shy at first, but now it’s exploring the tank regularly. Would recommend to anyone with a small planted setup.
