Gastromyzon cornusaccus is a small hillstream loach known from Sungai Kinarom, draining northern Mount Kinabalu into Marudu Bay. Reference juveniles have thick cream bars and blotches, while adults become more uniformly coloured. Its external resemblance to danumensis caused earlier confusion. This wild-caught All Size offer does not specify a selected sex or fixed developmental pattern.
Species reference guidance gives 20-24 C and pH 6.0-8.0. Provide mature, strongly oxygenated flowing water, smooth rock refuges, plentiful algae and biofilm, and a secure lid. Keep at least four conspecifics with sufficient feeding territories, avoiding large aggressive competitors. Confirm accepted supplementary foods and actual holding water; avoid excessive protein in the diet.
MBI-LOA-064 (All Size): 1 fish per bag; maximum 100 bags per box.
Order minimum: MBI-LOA-064: 40 individual fish. Price is per individual fish. Existing quotation and business terms govern shipment arrangements.
