They are very small, going about 4 inches in size. As with all gobies, they will actively defend terrotories from each other and therefore it is advisable to take this into account as they will each require their own space. They are tropical aquarium fish species that live in water temperatures ranging from 73 F° to 79 F°. Much like the Butterfly Plecostomus, these gobies are acustommed to environments with fast flow and have developed strong pectoral muscles to clutch on and hide under rocks and stones on riverbeds. When bought from a pet store, these fish will be between 2 and 3 inches. These are busy fish and are active algae grazers. If the tank is at the higher end of the temperature range, it is important to maintain the high levels of dissolved oxygen in the water. The temperature of the water should not drop 18 degrees C for extended periods for these fish, thus a temperate aquarium in a centrally heated home is the most appropriate environment. If you want a good tank mate for your Gouramis, choose the zebra loach because it won’t grow to an extremely large size. They actually rarely do well when placed into tropical community aquariums and are therefore best suited to those with lots of water movement. Care level: Easy Max Size of fish: 4 inches Temperature range: 73-79 degrees Fahrenheit pH range: 6-6.5. They use their body as a suction cup to stick to rocks and debris. Tropical fish need a heated tank and live in temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius, there are both freshwater and saltwater species. These fish are highly adapted to fast flowing and oxygen rich environments. Water Conditions: 6.5-8 and Moderately Hard to Hard. HILLSTREAM LOACH (or BUTTERFLY PLECOSTOMUS) Minimum Tank Size: 29 Gallons Minimum, 55 Gallons Recommended. Maximum size is 8 cm, but even in the wild fish 4-6 cm are much more common. A golden or coppery band runs along the midline of the flank, and in breeding condition males also display a purple band on top of that. Care should be exercised to maintain high dissolved oxygen levels at the higher end of this temperature range. These iridescent fish have pinkish bodies with shiny patches on the head, dorsal surface and the fins. This means that you are able to keep certain fish, some of which would usually be kept in tropical, heated tanks, in your cold/room temperature water setups An indoor coldwater aquarium usually maintains a temperature of about 18-22 degrees subject to the room temperature, which is considered ‘temperate’. In reality you have much more flexibilty than you think. People often feel limited in terms of choice in coldwater aquariums, restricting themselves to goldfish and their variants.
