Loaches
Loaches – Active Bottom Dwellers for Freshwater Aquariums
At Wonderworld Aquarium & Pet Centre, our Loaches range includes popular freshwater species known for their personality and constant movement along the substrate.
From Kuhli Loaches and Yoyo Loaches to Clown Loaches (when available), these fish are excellent additions to suitable community aquariums. Many species help manage leftover food and some assist with snail control.
Loaches prefer established aquariums with soft substrate, hiding spaces, driftwood, and stable water parameters. Most species are social and do best kept in groups of their own kind.
