About the Bengal Loach

Name: Bengal Loach

Max Size: Up to 3 inches (7.6 cm)

Recommend pH: 6.5-7.5

Recommended Temperature (Β°F): 72-78Β°F (22-26Β°C)

Diet: Bengal Loaches are primarily carnivorous. They have a natural diet that consists of small invertebrates, insect larvae, and other meaty foods. In the aquarium, they can be fed a varied diet including high-quality sinking pellets, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans. They may also consume some algae or vegetable matter but their diet should primarily consist of protein-rich foods.

Temperament: Peaceful

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Schooling Fish (Bengal Loaches are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals to feel secure and exhibit their natural behavior.)

Possible types of tank mates: Bengal Loaches are peaceful and can be kept with other small, peaceful fish species that share similar water parameters. Good tank mates include small tetras, rasboras, danios, and peaceful catfish species. Avoid housing them with aggressive or fin-nipping fish.

Behavior: Bengal Loaches, also known as Botia dario or Bengal Border Loaches, are small-sized loaches with a fascinating appearance. They have a striking combination of black, orange, and white coloration, with distinct patterns of stripes and spots. Bengal Loaches are peaceful by nature but can become more active during feeding times and may display playful behavior, especially when kept in a group. They are bottom-dwelling fish that spend a significant amount of time foraging and digging in the substrate. They may also explore and interact with driftwood, rocks, and plants in the aquarium. Bengal Loaches are known to have a relatively calm temperament and can add an interesting dynamic to a well-maintained community aquarium.

Fun Fact: Bengal Loaches are named after the Bengal region of South Asia, which encompasses parts of Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. These loaches are native to the rivers and streams of this region. In their natural habitat, they are known for their ability to navigate through rocky and fast-flowing waters. Their coloration and patterns serve as camouflage, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. The Bengal Loach's striking appearance and active behavior make them a sought-after choice among aquarists looking to add a touch of uniqueness to their aquariums.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
