More about Horseface loach
The Horseface loach, also known as Acantopsis dialuzona, is a distinctive freshwater fish known for its elongated snout resembling that of a horse's face. Originating from the rivers and streams of Southeast Asia, this bottom-dwelling species displays a brown to gray coloration, helping it blend into its natural sandy or muddy environments. Its body is elongated and somewhat cylindrical, ideal for burrowing. Despite its unique appearance, the Horseface Loach is not as widely recognized or as common in the aquarium hobby compared to other loaches, but it is valued by some enthusiasts for its interesting behavior and ability to adapt to various water conditions.
