OVERVIEW

The Borneo Sucker is native to the Borneo region of Southeast Asia. They inhabit shallow, swift streams and rivers containing clear, cool, and oxygen-rich water characterized by an abundance of sandy substrates, rocks, gravels, and huge  boulders. 

Borneo suckers  are generally peaceful and interactive. They are mostly seen clinging  tightly to large rocks in the tank— either relaxing or consuming algae  growing on them. Other times, they may be found lying around or climbing the tank glass.

Scientific Name:  Gastromyzon punctulatus
