The sucking catfish is one of the first clean-up crew species that aquarists will be exposed to. These fish are usually the size of a toothpick in aquarium stores and the way they latch onto the glass and scrub it clean is super adorable to watch. These however are actually not catfished at all and are a member of the loach family. The sucking loach as they should rightfully be called is an incredibly hardy, easy to care for, cold water tolerant species that sounds like it would be great for any aquarium however as these fish mature, they can often be a burden if they are not in the right type of aquarium.

Very happy fish and ownerSeems to keep to itself and do it's wonderful job of mopping up after the other 9 fish in the aquarium. I was worried when I read elsewhere that they should only be added after a new new setup as established...however everything seems fine and I guess with the other fish around there is enough scraps. As suggested we are currently soaking some drift aquarium wood to add for it to nibble on.

do your researchgreat healthy fish, but these guys where a huge mistake for me to buy. don't listen to pet shop owners!!! they can grow huge and are bullies... ALL my tank fish hated them immediately. I had to re home them.
no complaints about quality tho!!!!Posted on

fun & hardyThese guy's are fun and hardy fish, the ones that i have had over the years have grown to 20cm in length. they are territorial and will wrestle with each other for prime positions in the tank. they do have a habit of annoying the larger fish by trying to clean them - a lot !. industrious cleaners they are always worth the cost. never known them to suffer any problems.
