How to Keep a Cooley Loach
The Cooley Loach can be an easy breed to keep. The life span of the Cooley Loach is approximately 5-10 years. Their body size is approximately 10-12 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water (especially soft, slightly acidic water), with a pH range of 3.5 to 7.0. Cooley loaches are classified as a tropical fish, so if kept in Japan, they require a heater in winter.Also, since coolie roaches are nocturnal and often hide in the shadows during the day, it is recommended that you add driftwood, clay pipes, or other ornaments for them to hide in when keeping them in an aquarium. Since they are nocturnal, they may become stressed if you try to see them in bright light.

Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
Regarding mixed swimming, first of all, the character of the Cooley loach is timid. Therefore, if the breed with which they are mixed is territorial or aggressive, the Cooley Loach may be attacked, resulting in injury or even illness due to stress.Recommended species for mixing with the coolie loach are small fish such as neon tetras and other colorassins and red fins. In addition, since the coolie roach lives in the lower trophic zone, we recommend quiet species such as otocin and corydoras in the same trophic zone.

Points about spawning
Many people who keep Cooley loaches want to breed them. However,There have been few domestic successes for the Cooley loach, and breeding them in a typical breeding environment is very difficult.If you are trying to breed, it is very important to keep several (5 or more is recommended) of only the same species of coolie roach in the aquarium and wait for them to spawn. Then, if they spawn on the bottom sand or on driftwood, immediately transfer the eggs to a separate container before they are eaten by adult clown loaches. If the eggs are laid on sand, you can scoop up the entire sand. Hopefully, they will hatch in a few days. After that, you can keep the eggs as you would with killifish fry, for example.

What to look for when keeping a Cooley Loach
The Cooley Loach is a recommended breed because it is easy to keep and to mix with other breeds, but it is not well known. However, they are not well known because they are nocturnal and have a timid character, which means that there are few opportunities to see them even when they are kept. This is because it is a major disadvantage when keeping them as an ornamental fish because they are not easily seen.However, it has many features not found in other breeds, such as its flashy body color and snake-like appearance (movement). They are also safe to keep because they rarely attack other breeds. They also prevent the deterioration of water quality by eating the food scraps from other species and algae on the walls. If you have a chance to see them in a specialty store, I recommend you to take a look.
