The Spotted Borneo Sucker (Gastromyzon punctulatus) is a very interesting freshwater loach that is native to Malaysian Borneo.  It is known for its gray body coloration, white spots, and occasional blue highlights on its fins, its peaceful yet outgoing demeanor, and its fascinating social behavior with members of its own species. This fascinating, peaceful fish is an algae and biofilm grazer that is an excellent candidate for the mature subtropical aquarium
The Spotted Borneo Sucker is a very social species, especially as an adult, so it should be kept in groups

Coolest fish in my community tank. I got two of them shipped to me. Was quite surprised how small they were but they have both doubled in size already in a few months. Just like kreepy crawlys. They clean the glass all day. One has taken over a cave under a rock and any fish that swims by too close he sort of does a “the human worm” kinda slinky move to scare them off. Harmless. I read someone said you need to have a lid on the tank as they climb out. My tank has no lid and water is rim level. No issues. I have silver dollars, gurami, guppies, cories and rams.. kulis. All get on just fine. Get some. You wont be sorry.

These guys are fantastic! I’ve bought a few over the course of the last year. And have gotten bigger, smaller and different spot/stripe variations. Amazing peaceful addition to a aquascape.

They had both varieties (spotted and striped). They are healthy and doing very well in my tank. Be sure to keep a lid on as they will try to climb out. Very sociable!

This busy little fish is an exceptional cleaner. Although predominantly on the glass, it does also clean bigger stones and rock structures. The skirt fins are also a very cool new feature in the tank.
