Forked Loach

Lepidocephalichthys furcatus

The Forked Loach is a peaceful, bottom-dwelling species native to Southeast Asia. These small loaches are known for their distinctive forked tail and active behavior as they scavenge along the substrate. They thrive in groups and prefer well-oxygenated water with plenty of hiding spots among plants and driftwood. Their peaceful nature makes them excellent additions to community aquariums with other small, non-aggressive fish. They help keep the tank clean by consuming leftover food and detritus.
