Inle Hovering Loach

The Inle Hovering  Loach (Petruichthys brevis) is a peaceful, schooling species native to Myanmar’s Inle Lake. Reaching 4–6 cm, it thrives in tanks of 20 gallons or more at 18–24°C with pH 6.0–8.0 and medium-hard water. Its unique head-up swimming and activity require a sandy substrate and well-oxygenated, planted environments.
