Loach Fishes

Loaches are hardy, usually nocturnal fishes that inhabit both still and flowing waters. They use their barbels to comb the bottom for worms, insect larvae, and other food. In low and stagnant ponds, they may swallow air at the surface, their intestines then absorbing the oxygen and thus aiding respiration
