Golden sucking loach

About me: Hello, I am a golden sucker loach and help you to remove algae from glass, stones and wood. My big sucking mouth helps me to be able to suck myself in well even in strong currents. Generally you can keep me in a community tank, but it is important to note that I should not be kept with large fish, such as a discus fish. I like to suck on big fish, which causes skin damage to them. But in general I am good to keep with peaceful animals.
