The Tiger Botia Loach is an excellent addition to any aquarium, as it is both a scavenger and predator. It is a semi-aggressive fish that enjoys the company of its own species, as well as other semi-aggressive fish. When in the presence of its own kind, the Tiger Botia Loach will school with fish of the same age and size. Furthermore, they require plenty of caves, holes, and hiding places in order to provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere for sleeping. Thanks to its natural predatory nature, the Tiger Botia Loach can also help to keep snail populations in check in any planted or community aquarium. Ultimately, the Tiger Botia Loach is a great choice for aquarium owners seeking a reliable and active fish to add to their tank.
