Descripción de la especie
Jinshaia abbreviata, a member of the family Balitoridae, is native to upper Yangtze, China. Its sucker belly is made for mountain rapids — still, warm water suffocates it faster than any disease. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 11.6–16.9 cm. Keep one per stone field, or 3+ to spread territory. Provide strong flow, cool temperatures and mature algae-covered rockwork; keep it below 26 °C. Maintain 18–26 °C at pH 6.5–7.5. A solid choice for a well-planned community tank.
