Description
Remarks: An excellent algae eater, especially for black beard algae, panda garra are very popular amongst aquascapers. Not only are these fish excellent algae eaters, but they are known to become very personable. After being given time to get familiar with their owner, panda garra often take to riding on the hands of their owners when given the chance. A tight tank lid is recommended as these fish are known to climb out of your aquarium if given a clear path.
