種の概要

Gastromyzon scitulus, a member of the family Balitoridae, comes from Borneo, where it inhabits fast-flowing mountain streams, clinging to rocks. Peaceful grazer; squabbles are brief pushes and algae and biofilm specialist; supplement with wafers, it grows to 3.4–5 cm and adapts well to a properly set-up aquarium in the 19–23 °C range. Other Gastromyzon species in our database include Gastromyzon ctenocephalus, Gastromyzon farragus, Gastromyzon punctulatus.
