What do you want to know they are extremely timid always burrowed under the substrate if your luck you will see its head popped out the top they need to be kept in groups and can grow up to around 6-8"

 

[The-Wolf]

Acantopsis choirorhynchus
adults 8" (20cm)
min tank (footprint) recomended 36x12
ph range 6-7 temp 77-84°F (25-29°C)
must have live food regularly to be healthy

as with most loaches a fast flow and high O2 is required

 

[laurasmithuk]

would they be ok in a 96 litre community tank?

seen them today and love em!

 

[The-Wolf]

A tank measuring 28" (71 cm) with a capacity of 20-25 gallons (76-95 L) is sufficient for fish up to 4" (10 cm) in length
above that they'll need a larger tank

 

[laurasmithuk]

[The-Wolf]

yes; untill they are half adult size
