Unlike many loaches, it is frequently active during the daytime, making it an excellent choice for aquarists looking for a lively and visible bottom-dwelling species. Its compact adult size also makes it considerably more suitable for community aquariums than larger Botia-type loaches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a highly social species that should be kept in groups, ideally six or more, where individuals develop a natural social hierarchy and regularly interact with one another. Provide a well-structured aquarium with plants, wood, rocks and plenty of hiding places while retaining open areas for swimming. Dwarf Chain Loaches are omnivorous and readily accept quality sinking foods alongside frozen or live foods, and they are also well known for feeding on small pest snails.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFish Size Guide:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'Maximum Size' outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult.
