Scientific Name. Beaufortia kweichowensis.

   
     

Comments
Butterfly Loaches naturally live in fast moving streams where the water is cool and saturated with oxygen. They eat mostly algae that they scrap off the rocks. This fish is also called the Hill Stream Loach or sometimes  the Hillstream Loach.

     

Appropriate Home
An aquarium with an exterior power filter with a BIO-Wheel and a maximum of 1/4 inch of gravel. Butterfly Loaches can adapt to living in aquariums with or without an aquarium heater. Click here for more information about warm water aquariums. Click here for more about cool water aquariums.

     

Recommended Diet
Floating flake food. Perhaps some sinking food pellets but be careful because uneaten food will soon spoil and pollute the water. Also occasionally feed Butterfly Loaches live or frozen food such as live Black Worms and live or frozen brine shrimp. Click here for more about feeding fish.

     

Compatibility
All Gouramis, all Barbs, all Danios, all Rainbows, White Clouds, one Red Tail Shark or one Rainbow Shark. Butterfly Loaches can also tolerate cooler water and do well in cool water aquariums and ponds with Goldfish. Click here to read more about several other groups of compatible fish.

     

Size and Life Span
Butterfly Loaches grow to 3" and live for several years.
