Juveniles display bold black bands across a silver body, creating a dramatic appearance that makes them a standout addition to large aquariums. As they mature, their colours become more subdued, but they retain their impressive size and graceful presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeaceful by nature, the Hi Fin Loach is an excellent choice for large community aquariums with similarly sized tank mates. These active fish enjoy well-oxygenated water, open swimming areas, and strong water movement that mimics their natural river habitat. They are constantly on the move, grazing on algae and searching for food throughout the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs omnivores, Hi Fin Loaches readily accept algae wafers, sinking pellets, vegetables, and protein-rich foods. Due to their large adult size, they are best suited for spacious aquariums and ponds where they can reach their full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 60cm+\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 Litres\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18°C to 24°C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 to 7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose a Hi Fin Loach?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpectacular high dorsal fin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful black and silver juvenile patterning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeaceful and community-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive and engaging behaviour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent showpiece fish for large aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique and uncommon species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Glass And Gill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53817710641446,"sku":"RT-153","price":350.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/9810\/0774\/files\/eshwater_37c2af52-b62f-4223-ab70-65123d5fe4eb.png?v=1788536327","url":"https:\/\/www.glassandgill.co.za\/products\/hi-fin-loach","provider":"Glass And Gill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
