Syncrossus berdmorei or Blyth’s Loach got its common name from the author of the first description. It is a large fish that can grow to about 30 cm in length. Keep them together in a group. Like all other Botia, it is a long slender fish with barbels. With these barbs, this fish searches for food in the bottom. The gender difference is difficult to see. The female is said to be slightly fuller than the male. As Syncrossus berdmorei ages, it loses some of its youthful fresh colors.
