Well the day my fish came it was so hot when UPS delivered it I was not sure if it was alive,it looked half dead I placed the bag it the tank to get the same temperature did not see much movement a few hours passed fish was more active,all and all fish is still alive and doing well with the other fish,happy customer.
This is a very charming little fish, healthy, energetic, and feels vibrantly alive. I had never heard of it before. Surprised it is a loach as it looks more like a catfish.
Tossed a few of these in heavily planted 40 gal community tank. It's been a week since they showed up healthy in the mail from flip. These fish are quickly stealing the show. Very playful with eachother and so far completely peaceful. Cannot reccomend these fish enough.
I have ordered a few times and I am very pleased with all the fish we have purchased. You can tell the love and care that they put into their fish!
