Botia

This established range includes Botia alongside related Chromobotia, Ambastaia, Syncrossus and Paracanthocobitis offers. Keep those choices distinct: Clown Loach and Dwarf Chain Loach do not need the same adult aquarium. Two separate Zebra Loach offers use hymenophysa and striata names; compare the scientific identity and care rather than choosing on stripes alone.

Individual offers and the explicitly labelled four-YoYo and three-Clown packs have different sale units. A pack count is not a complete social or space plan. Provide appropriate company, shelters and food for the named fish, while considering territorial behaviour and risks to ornamental snails or other invertebrates.

The published Silver Loach record, Yasuhikotakia lecontei, reports 15 cm standard length, measured without the tail fin. A small supplied fish is not an adult limit. Plan swimming space, appropriate company and shelters for the whole group rather than choosing a loach solely for a small purchase size.
