1, prepare the bottom sand. The bottom of the tank is covered with about five centimeters of soil or fine sand. Soil is more suitable for them to grow, but if all the soil is paved, once the loach drilled into the soil, they will no longer come out, and it will not achieve the effect of ornamental, so try to pave fine sand is better. Loach winter time to dive into the river sand for hibernation, so it is better to choose some of the finer sand.

2, the fish tank needs to be covered. Fish tank with loach need to pay attention to, because the loach night activity is particularly large, and its body is long and thin, it is easy to drill out of the cracks of the fish tank. And they are very sensitive to vibration, the slightest movement they will jump out of the fish tank, so add a cover to the fish tank.

3, add water plants. You can put some water plants in the fish tank, it can purify the water quality, but also can play a good ornamental role. But the number of water plants in the tank should be controlled, and not be able to hinder the breathing of the loach.

Expanded Information:

Mudskippers like to live in the bottom of the static water, and are often found in the bottom of lakes, ponds, ditches and paddy fields.

The loach likes to live in the bottom layer of static water, often found in lakes, ponds, ditches and paddy fields at the bottom of the silt layer rich in plant debris, strong adaptability to the environment.

The loach lives in water temperature of 10～30℃, and the optimum water temperature is 25～27℃, so it should be a warm water fish. When the water temperature rises to 30℃, the loach dives into the mud in summer. In winter, when the water temperature drops to below 5℃, the loach drills into the mud at a depth of 20-30cm to overwinter.
