More about Cambodian log sucker
The Cambodian log sucker is a unique fish species characterized by its vibrant coloration, blending shades of brown and green with occasional iridescent sparkles, depending on the light. Originating from freshwater habitats in Cambodia, it features a distinct, elongated body shape suited for clinging onto and maneuvering around submerged logs and rocks. Its body is adorned with a suction-cup-like mouth, allowing it to graze on algae and biofilm. Despite its striking appearance, the Cambodian log sucker is not widely known in the aquarium hobby, partly due to its specialized habitat requirements and limited distribution.
