Dwarf Chain Loaches

The Dwarf Chain Loach, Ambastaia sidthimunki is a small, friendly fish that grows to about 2 inches long. Its body is covered in cool, chain‑like markings that stand out in any tank. These loaches love to swim around in groups, exploring plants, rocks, and driftwood. Watching them dart and play together is so fun to watch and is sure to keep your aquarium feeling lively.

To keep them happy, give them a tank with soft, slightly acidic water, good filtration, and gentle water flow. Pack the bottom with sand or fine gravel and add lots of hiding spots, think plants, caves, or driftwood. Feed them sinking pellets, flakes, and treats like brine shrimp or bloodworms. They get along well with other peaceful fish, especially their own kind, so keep at least five together. With the right setup, these little loaches will thrive and bring fun energy to your freshwater tank.

    Dwarf chain loach

    We were sold one dwarf chain loach at our LFS. We had a pest snail problem in our tank. Went looking for assassin snails and they sold me on one dwarf chain loach. I wanted something I could keep forever in the 29 gallon. Since I did not know about them I specifically asked if they needed to be kept in groups and they said no it will be fine on its own. I looked up the fish on their website on the way home (husband was driving) and it even says on their site that they need to be kept in groups or they can become aggressive or withdrawn. Flip’s price was half the price of our LFS. I also wanted to get a schooling fish so I figured even paying for shipping Flip’s would be cheaper. Boy am I happy I chose Flip Aquatics! The fish are awesome! So goofy and healthy! I ordered 6 and received 7 so I now have 8 happy dwarf chain loaches. Will recommend Flip Aquatics to everyone!

    dwarf chain loaches

    All arrived alive and well. These little guys are so resilient! I did order a heat pack, but it was on top of the box. After 1 1/2 hrs. at room temperature, the temperature of fish bag was 62 degrees. All of these fish made it just fine. They are out of quarantine tank and in their permanent home. So fun to watch them play around!

    Dwarf Chain Loach

    They are my favorite. Came in healthy. I should have gotten more. Like to scurry around in the plants than come out for a moment and swim and skirt around others.
