Frank M. Greco - 2006-10-27 I am maintaining a group of 8 without incident. They are highly social loaches and do no damage to each other. I would suggest keeping a minimum of 5, providing you have enough room to do so (they reach about 4.5" TL). Definitely a good loach for beginners.
The Zipper Loach has a beautiful patterning when it is young that looks just like a zipper!
