💎 Sumatran Neon Loach (Pangio bitaimac) – Rare & Colorful Micro Loach

The Sumatran Neon Loach (Pangio bitaimac) is a stunning and uncommon loach species admired for its brilliant blue-green iridescence and slender eel-like body. Native to the shaded forest streams of Sumatra, this small and peaceful loach adds subtle shimmer and graceful movement to planted aquariums. 🌿🐠

Similar in behavior to Kuhli Loaches, the Sumatran Neon Loach enjoys hiding among plants, rocks, and driftwood during the day and becomes active at dusk, foraging playfully along the substrate. Their neon sheen and gentle temperament make them a perfect addition to peaceful nano or community tanks. ✨
