Diet & Nutrition:  Omnivore; needs a varied diet of frozen, live, and vegetable foods. They should be provided a varied diet of live/frozen bloodworms, Artemia, and Tubifex worms. Fruit and vegetables should be an occasional treat. Cucumber, blanched spinach, and melon will be accepted and can be an important part of a varied diet. While they are able to feed on sinking catfish pellets, this should not be their only source of nutrition.

Breeding & Spawning: Have not been bred in captivity. All specimens available have been caught in the wild. Commercial breeders can sometimes force spawning with hormones, but this hasn’t been accomplished yet with Tiger Loach.

Gender: Female Tiger Loaches are stockier than the males and may be slightly larger as well. Coloration is similar in both sexes.
