Description

 Loach Hillstream Redtail

 The Hillstream Redtail Loach (Beaufortia kweichowensis) is a peaceful, bottom-dwelling fish native to fast-flowing streams in Asia. Known for its red tail and flattened body, it is well-suited to aquariums with high water flow and oxygenation. This loach is an herbivore and thrives on a diet of algae wafers, spirulina, and fresh vegetables. Its unique look and beneficial algae-eating habits make it a valuable addition to planted tanks.
