Gastromyzon stellatus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Gastromyzon. Also known as a loach.
In a home aquarium, the fish need excellent water-flow and aeration as well as rocky hiding places. Lighting should be bright to encourage algal growth in the aquarium but plants are unnecessary.[1] An aquarium with base dimensions of 75 ∗ 30 cm is large enough to house a group. A tight lid is important because the species can climb glass.[2]
