Stone Loaches -a common fish in clear rivers and streams. They live amongst the gravel and stones of fast flowing water where they can search for food.
The most distinctive feature of this 14 cm fish is the presence of barbels around the bottom jaw, which they use to detect their invertebrate prey. The body is a mixture of brown, green and yellow.
They live on the bottom, often partly buried, and they are particularly active at night. |
