Clown Botia Chromobotia macranthus
An Aquarium Classic!
The most iconic and recognizable loach in the hobby, clown loaches may grow too large for many aquariums, but they're a must have for the hobbyist with enough space. Deep metallic orange with iridescent black stripes, these botia will make short work of invasive snails and serve as a cleanup crew in your large community aquarium. They will thrive in neutral to slightly acidic water in a well-established aquarium. Be aware, these loaches grow to a bulky ten to fourteen inches! Auction is for three subadult fish, but more are available.
