Description & Care Info ▼
Garra flavatra, commonly known as the Panda Loach, is a striking and highly sought-after species native to the fast-flowing mountain streams of Myanmar. As juveniles, they boast bold black-and-white bands resembling a panda, though their coloration becomes more subtle and mottled as they mature. These fish are known for their active, inquisitive nature and tendency to cling to rocks and glass with their modified mouthparts, perfectly adapted for life in high-current environments.
Panda Loaches do best in cool, well-oxygenated water with plenty of flow and smooth stones to graze on. They are peaceful and social, ideally kept in small groups to bring out their best behaviors. Though not algae eaters in the traditional sense, they’ll enjoy biofilm and small foods in the substrate.
