TIGER LOACH

The Tiger Botia Loach is a distinctive bottom-dweller native to Asian streams and rivers. Its silver body, accented with brown or green hues, features bold black stripes reminiscent of a tiger’s pattern. Characteristic of Botia loaches, it has four pairs of barbels around its mouth that aid in foraging. Though often called scaleless, this species possesses tiny embedded scales beneath its skin. Its striking appearance and active behavior make it a valuable addition to well-maintained community tanks with suitable bottom habitats.
