科: Cobitidae
半环苦力鳅为鳅科鱼类，温和的底栖鱼，喜在细沙中翻掘，原生分布于东南亚。关灯后才是它的主场，细沙与缓沉饲料是关键。成体约 9–13.2 cm，小群 5 尾以上，单独饲养易胆怯，适宜水温 24–30 °C。细沙胜过一切造景。
Pangio semicincta is a Cobitidae from Southeast Asia. Half of its life happens after dark; give it fine sand and it will reward you with natural foraging. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 9–13.2 cm. Loose groups of 5+; loneliness makes them shy. Use a soft sand bed and feed sinking foods; coarse gravel wears down its sensory barbels. Maintain 24–30 °C at pH 5.5–6.5. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
