- Hello Fellow Fish Keepers!
In this video we highlight one of my favorite fish in the fish room - Syncrossus berdmorei. This loach shows awesome color and personality, but can be a little on the aggressive side.

They are community tank safe unless you have a group of 6. They are rated as semi-aggressive cuz they can eat neon tetras but they tend to be very docile when kept in 6+ groups. Cool little fishys...
Edit: they can hold their own against aggressive fish. But not too aggressive.
I wouldn't recommend tiger loaches with gouramis or severums because they aren't quick enough to deal with tiger loaches. I could see this becoming a problem. Tigers seem to bother other fish, they aren't afraid of anything, they can jump, but they don't hurt fish of comparable sizes.
I love loaches! I could watch them all day long when they are out and about. Great video on the underappreciated loaches. I'm going to guess he finished eating all those bloodworms - my loaches are always hungry.
I don't know where he puts them all. Haha
Definitely a very cool fish. Love loaches of all kinds. Some eel effect, cat fish effect, and just cool fish that loach around. Great fish to watch and learn from. Thanks Jason.
Pakistani (also known as Indian) marble loach, simply the best tropical fish along with the clown loaches, extremely watchable in the tropical tank.
Better infact as clowns In small groups just hide all day
Great video. I have had my tigers (2) with jewels, salvini, venustus, and convicts. They never had any problem. They never bothered my plecostumus.
The two tigers will "play" when the lights go out. When they play, they have some bony feature that snaps like a machine gun. You will hear, "Snap!..Snap!.....Snap!Snap! Snap!" Mine are 6 inches long, and I've never seen them bigger than 6 inches.
They are really active, and are always fun to watch. Mine don't hide much. They remind me of a wolf without much bite.
I just had to move mine to a 125 peacock tank because it almost killed 6 of my prized Albino heckelii cichlids. HAd all 6 stuck in the corner of my 75 gallon. Rrrrr. I love that fish, but he can be a headache sometimes. :-)
I just found these a few minutes ago and I like them a lot as far as loaches go. They are very nice to stare at. They remind me of a weird combation of many different familiar fish I know.
They're less skittish/aggressive if you keep them in groups of 5 or more of his own kind. And they form complex social hierarchies. It's a lot of fun. I had a single for years before I got him buddies bc the store only had one as well, and I highly recommend but it has to be the same kind of loach. He was with guppies and a pleco for years and I def lost a couple gups if i forgot a nightly feeding or didnt feed him enough, but this is over maybe 6 years.
Just got one yesterday. Never seen it before but have a real love for loaches. It’s my fourth Loach species in my tank.
I have two yo-yo loaches and they have been very aggressive towards each other and my Madagascar cichlid. These are beautiful
Love all the loaches and this guy is cool for sure...love our striated loaches probably the best though...but this guy is super neat too...
Yeah this is also my favorite!!! They are often misidentified and sold under berdmorei when they are actually Beauforti, they look very similar . I can tell yours is berdmorei because of the wide spots along the back and the spots stop before the pelvic fins. Another way to know a true berdmorei is the intense red as where other syncrossus lose their color after becoming adults!!! I keep mine with a large group of skunk loaches and it's a exciting tank to watch , something is always going on!!!
Cool mix! Ya, the beauforti tend to lose a lot of their color when they age.
I'm always explaining the difference between syncrossus helodes and hymenophysa the same way 😹
Mine does great with my Peacock cichlids, he does do a lot of digging but has no problem swimming with the alpha Peacock. Highly recommended!
Clowns are my favorite followed by yoyo loaches, but the tigers are beutiful!
Very cool fish that I'd definitely never seen before! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)
Ya, he's a crazy little guy. : -)
He's a beautiful fish
Kept mine with jewel cichlids and it was fine, the cichlids bred and raised the fry but the loach definitely picked a couple off. Catching the loach was impossible, fastest fish I’ve ever kept!
O my gosh, YES! When we re-did the 75 gallon a while back he was SO hard to catch! : -)
My splendid loach keeps my 2 in order it killed 2 skunk loach aswell that were terrors
This specific loach is a character for sure Thank You for the Names it's called
My tiger botia rules the bottom of my 75 gal full of peacock and mbuna cichlids I want to say he is close to 7 inch
Do you think that a schodenti puffer would make a suitable tank mate? I've been interested in this loach but have never had a suitable tank set up for one. I know that my next planned tank will feature a schodenti puffer so I'm investigating tank mates for that fish. From your description in this video, it seems they might do well together. My main concern might be that one out competes the other at dinner time. Thoughts?
The loach does eat very quickly and moves fast around feeding time!
Cool fish 👍
Thank you!
@@PrimeTimeAquatics you're welcome
How’s about a future species profile on mini dovi grammode cichlids. Would be nice! Not to much info on the internet. Food for thought. Love your informative videos👍
He's cute.
Love this species...pure prick lol...mine did very well with mbuna, no problem. Great vid
Good to know!
Hi prime time I just bought a big guy 9 inches but hes color is faded when I bought him yesterday. But he is showing spots by hes gills and stripes
At that size I think there is a species closely related, but not this species?
The pet store said it was a blue botia but I bought two smaller redtail blue botia he dont even look like them at all
It’s a cool fish, I do like how they swim too!
I am gonna make sure my wife does see this.. she has a fascination with loach's forbsome reason. I've had to tell her no on a few. Right now she has 10 Kuhli both regular and black and 2 giant Dojo's 8in and 6.5in (I hate them). They have jumped out of the tank a few times while I was cleaning it. I am the one who takes care of them but they are her fish, still not sure on how that happened..
That's too funny. It could be worse - she could be into landscaping or something (moving mulch, chopping down trees, digging giant holes in the ground). : -)
@@PrimeTimeAquatics shes into that also, moving mulch by the pallet by hand.. I have 2 full pallets to move right now but that's gonna wait
Thanks for sharing always interesting seeing what others are keeping
Thank you!
I disagree. I have 4 of them and have had guppies, zebra danios, corydoras, kuhlii, goby, barbs etc and they've never eaten anyone adult. Some juveniles sure and they do some chasing but they're cooler when they're more.
I have found them mostly aggressive towards other long-bodied fish.
I just set up a huge 265 cichlid tank, would a trio of these loaches get along with the cichlids? I also tend to grow out new additions so they range from 3/4 inch to 10 inches. Do you think the loaches would mix well or am I asking for issues?
I guess it depends on the type of cichlids? I have had them in with severums, angels, geophagus, acarichthys, and would probably be comfortable with peacocks, haps, too. Any really aggressive mbuna or South/Central American cichlids might be an issue though.
I have had my tigers (2) with jewels, salvini, venustus, and convicts. They never had any problem. They never bothered my plecostumus.
My peacock just died too my tiger Botia last night these fish seems to be really a alpha fish
They certainly are.
Absolutely love PTA and KG tropicals content. Learnt alot from your channels. I was wandering does anyone know if I'm able to import fish from the US?
Thank you! I believe you would need an importers license, which can be expensive?
i got 3 today
oh god they are agressive i got 2 yoyo loaches, red tail shark, a random loach that i cant find anywhere on the internet, but i have 5 firemouth cichlids who keep everyone in check besides the redtail, the redtail will scrap with anyone at any time
Ya, these guys don't mess around. My red tail shark still completely ignores this guy. :-)
Can i keep this guy with clownloaches and Corydors
I wouldn't - they can be aggressive towards other bottom dwellers.
thanks@@PrimeTimeAquatics
Nice fish 👍😎
Thank you!
The brown gourami looking fish, what species is that? Sorry if i imissed it being mentioned in the video
That is a Leaf ctenopoma. Really cool fish!
Nice
I want one now
I was just sold 2 Columbian Shark, and I was wondering if it's gonna be ok in a fresh water tank or am I gonna have to make a blackish tank for them
I haven't kept them, but my first thought was brackish from what I can remember.
Do you buy your fish online or in person?
The vast majority of my fish have come from local swaps and auctions.
Nice fish 👍👌👊🙋
Thank you!
At what size did it start to color up on the scales ?
When I got it I think it was about 2.5 - 3" long and already had nice color. There are different species and some of them look similar, but often get larger and actually lose color as they age. They can also be mis-labeled at a pet store because they are so similar.
Prime Time Aquatics yea I’m afraid the one I got was mislabeled .... I don’t know if it’s a Beauforti or a Berdmori
I have only ever had problems with this fish if you keep them with small fish thay will kill them and if you keep them with big fish that will die. Thay don't want friends thay kill each other. Don't keep with peace fill fish because thay will kill them don't keep with anything slightly aggressive or it will die
He's that agressive exactly because he's alone. They like to be kept in groups, that's when they show their natural behaviour.
They can also be rough on one another.
Did it ever grow bigger ?c
No, it's about 6"?
Prime Time Aquatics was it grey scaled at first ? Having shades of red on the dorsal and pectoral fins? Mine is small
Personally I really don’t like these things; they’re just too aggressive and never have worked out for me. They’re a nuisance to any kind of fish for me
He's been working out great in this set-up. They seem to fit right in with a semi-aggressive setup.
Prime Time Aquatics I guess I just don’t expect as much aggression from something that should be chill as a bottom dweller. He is gorgeous though
What happened to your other half has she given you and the fish the elbow.lol
She will be making some appearances soon - she has a few tanks going up. : -)
what an uncommon loach
Ya, I put it in a 125 with some peacock cichlids and it’s working well there too!
Definitely a very cool fish. Love loaches of all kinds. Some eel effect, cat fish effect, and just cool fish that loach around. Great fish to watch and learn from. Thanks Jason.

Thank you! Appreciate you watching. That's one of the things I like about them too. Their swimming motion is so cool!
