Rosy Loach

Rosy Loach is a type of loach that is active, colorful, and small. While they aren’t the most common type of loach, they can be a great choice, especially for smaller aquariums. Originating in Myanmar and Thailand, Rosy Loaches are somewhat rare in the aquarium hobby and can be difficult to find. This species has lots of personality and displays high levels of activity. While Rosy Loach are mainly nocturnal, they are often active in the daytime and provide a great splash of activity and color.

Rosy Loaches like shade and hiding spaces and do best in heavily planted tanks. This is also a very social species and prefers to live in larger groups of 6 to 10 individuals. While this fish is small, the need for larger groups means they can’t be kept in micro aquariums of 10 gallons or less. If you are thinking about adding this fish to your tank, there are some special care requirements you’ll need to be aware of first. Let’s take a look at what you’ll need to know when taking care of this colorful and active dwarf loach!
