+
|tank_compatibility=:A sociable fish that should be kept in groups of at least 5 or 6. Will be peaceful towards other tank mates, but do not keep with delicate fish that may be bothered by this fish's active nature.
 
+
|diet=:Will accept most foods including pellet and sinking wafers, will also take live/frozen food such as [[foods::bloodworm]] and [[foods::daphnia]]. These Loaches will eat small snails also (but will generally ignore tougher [[Malaysian Trumpet Snail]]s).
     
+
|feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day.
== Tank compatibility ==
+
|environment_specifics=:Prefers a spacious tank with plenty of hiding places in [[bogwood]] and rocks and does well in a planted tank. Provide a soft substrate such as rounded gravel or sand, sharp substrate may damage their delicate barbels.

+
|behaviour=:A generally peaceful Loach that develops a hierarchy within their group, expect some disputes until a group is settled. May also be [[nocturnal]] until established in the tank. Having more hiding places will mean that you will see your Loach more as it will come out more due to it feeling safer.
 
+
|identification=:Juveniles of this Loach can be mistaken for ''[[Botia kubotai]]'', ''[[Botia almorhae]]'' and ''[[Botia rostrata]]'', however, when this fish matures it develops a rich golden colour across the top parts of the body, different from other similar Loaches.
