This family, which includes Loaches and Botias, provides some quaint but useful scavengers and algae eaters. The Cobitidae come from the old world, and like the Carps they have no teeth in their jaws. They have three or more pairs 0f barbels.some members of the family, the spiny Loaches, have a simple or bifidspine just under each eye. Normally this lies folded flat, but if threatened it is erected with the result that any predator attempting to swallow it receives an unpleasant surprise.These fishes are scavengers that live at the bottom of the pond in muddy, poorly oxygenated water. To compensate for this some species come to the surface and swallow air. They carryon a form of intestinal respiration, extracting oxygen via the mucosa of the hind gut. The spent air is expelled through the vent. Some Loaches are believed to be sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure (Weather Fish).Recommended feeding system Aquaze tropIcal.
