Descripción de la especie
Cobitidae species Pangio oblonga comes from Southeast Asia. A sand-sifting bottom resident most active after the lights fade. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 9–13.2 cm. Sociable; keep 4–6 so night-time activity stays confident. Choose sand over gravel, feed after dusk, and keep ammonia at zero — loaches punish neglect visibly. Maintain 24–30 °C at pH 5.5–6.5. Best suited to a keeper who can match its natural water.
