Berdmore Loach
This species lives in fast mountain streams and large rivers, over soft substrates and often near submerged boulders and fallen trees. Due to its large adult size, Syncrossus berdmorei requires a large aquarium. This should be no less than 4ft long to begin with, and larger quarters will be required as they grow. The substrate must ideally be fine sand to allow digging without damage to the barbels. Provide plenty of hiding places in the aquarium amongst bogwood, caves, and sturdy plants. Subdued lighting is required.
