Before you choose from this collection
Every loach and oddball on this page is a live fish held in our own system before dispatch — not a stock photo. We stock kuhli, clown and zebra loaches, plus true oddballs — bichirs, lungfish, dwarf frogs, gobies and more — with new imports landing most weeks.
These fish ship in oxygen-charged bags inside an insulated box, dispatched Wednesday for Thursday delivery with a licensed live-animal courier so your fish never sits over a weekend. Every order carries our live arrival guarantee: film a short, continuous unboxing video and tell us the same day, and we refund or replace.
This is the section for the unusual and the characterful — bottom-dwelling loaches that need company, and oddballs that break the normal community rules. Care needs vary enormously here, so read the individual care guides linked below and check adult size and temperament carefully before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Most social loaches do — kuhli loaches and clown loaches are shoaling fish that hide and pine if kept alone, so keep at least 5-6. A lone loach is a stressed, rarely-seen loach. Some oddball 'loaches' are more solitary, so always check the specific species before buying just one or two.
