General Comments:
The Panda Garra is an ornate
sucker-mouth loach. Like its namesake the panda, the Panda Garra features broad,
alternating bands of light and dark coloration. Its unique markings are
highlighted with diamond-shaped scale patterns and hints of red coloration in
its fins. Due to its unusual markings and peaceful nature, the Panda Garra makes
a great addition to well-filtered aquariums 30 gallons and larger.
In the wild, the Panda Garra
inhabits well-oxygenated, fast-flowing streams. The addition of a powerhead or
the use of a slightly oversized filter will increase filtration and water
movement to help recreate natural conditions. While its sucker-like mouth may
suggest the Panda Garra is a scavenger or algae-eater, it is crucial not to
restrict its diet solely on available algae or food debris.
