Moose Faced Loach

The Moosehead loach, Somileptus gongota, is one of the most unusual and trickiest loaches that anyone could hope to find.

This species was initially portrayed from North East Bengal, Bangladesh, by Hamilton under the name Cobitis gongota. As per gallery records, it has thusly been recorded from the Kushiara waterway in Bangladesh; the Brahmaputra stream waste, Kalimpong Duars and Silguri Terai in India, and the region encompassing the Koshi blast in Nepal.

 This is very interesting fish to keep,be well equipped for satisfying its needs. It lives in sluggish streams with a sand, rock or mud base.

You can add bogwood and water worn rocks, but it’s the bottom area that is most important to this fish, as it spends much of its time submerged, like most sand-dwellers. Ensure that there are a couple of inches of sand present to allow adequate burrowing.
