Nikkonis Loach are fascinating and resilient freshwater fish that bring unique charm to any aquarium. They are known for their active behavior and intriguing appearance, making them a popular choice among hobbyists. Proper care is essential to ensure they thrive and remain healthy.

To start, Nikkonis Loach prefer a well-maintained tank with stable water conditions. They enjoy a slightly acidic to neutral pH, typically ranging from 6.5 to 7.5.
