Suckerhead Garra is an active riverine grazer for mature aquariums with strong oxygenation, rounded stones and plenty of grazing surfaces.

Suckerhead Garra is Garra gotyla, a robust riverine grazer with the underside mouth and active browsing behaviour that make Garra species so interesting to watch. This listing was previously carrying Doctor Fish wording, but that belongs to Garra rufa; this product is the larger Suckerhead Garra.
This is not a simple glass-cleaner. Give it a river-style layout with strong filtration, high oxygen and multiple grazing surfaces. It can work with active peaceful fish, but slow long-finned tank mates are a poor match.
Choose Suckerhead Garra if you are building a mature flowing aquarium and want a grazer with real behaviour and presence. Livestock is sent by licensed live-animal courier and covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.
