Horseface Loach (Acantopsis choirorhynchos)

Question
With this particular loach , can you use a gravel vacuum ? I am always cautious when moving plants or adding... Was not sure if it would hurt him . Thoughts?

Answer
Hi Jacqui

Yes, you can use a gravel vac with a Horseface Loach. However, if you're not sure where he is, you'll need to very gently tap the surface of the gravel until he moves. I have a couple of Loaches that bury themselves, usually under a rock. When I do tank maintenance, I use a soft net to gently sweep the top of the gravel until I find them.

Hope this helps, good luck!
