Loach-Dwarf Chain

“All our fish, shrimp and corals are bagged with fresh oxygen as well as a heat pack in winter.

When ordering livestock please select the box size and add it to your cart for accurate overnight (1-2 days) shipping costs. A small box can take 1-2 bags and a medium box 6 bags. One bag fits max 10 small (1-3cm) fish or max 2 medium (3-5cm) fish or max 1 large (>5cm) fish.”

The Dwarf Chain Loach is a lively and eye-catching bottom dweller with a beautiful chain-link pattern on a silvery-gold body. Growing only 5–6 cm, it’s perfect for smaller community tanks and adds constant movement and personality to the aquarium.

Care:

• Tank size: 75 L + (20 gal)

• Water: 22–26 °C, pH 6.0–7.5, soft to moderate hardness

• Diet: Sinking pellets, frozen or live foods (bloodworms, brine shrimp)

• Social: Keep in groups of 5 + to see their playful, social behaviour

Why You’ll Love Them:
These active little loaches are not only beautiful but also help control snails and clean up leftover food. Their bold markings and curious nature make them a standout choice for peaceful community tanks — a perfect mix of beauty and function!
