A Stone Loach needs a cooler plan

Read the full species name: the Stone Loach, listed as Nemacheilus barbatulus, is a cooler-water choice than the triangularis Zebra Loach. Do not use the same heater setting for both or confuse this Zebra Loach with Botia striata.

Give bottom-dwellers food and separate refuges

Provide clean, oxygen-rich water, suitable flow and smooth shelters without trapping food in inaccessible gaps. A Zebra Loach can defend its refuge, so consider the usable floor area and other bottom-dwellers. Feed suitable sinking and invertebrate foods rather than relying on leftovers.
