The Panda Garra (Garra flavatra) is a captivating and tranquil fish known for its stunning appearance and active behavior. This biofilm and algae grazer is remarkably resilient, making it an ideal addition to aquariums with high water flow.

Native to subtropical and tropical mountain regions of Western Myanmar, the Panda Garra belongs to the Cyprinidae family. It thrives in oxygen-rich, fast-flowing water and can often be observed swimming against the current of a filter output or powerhead. For successful care, it is crucial to provide strong water flow in the aquarium. Additionally, a secure lid or canopy is essential, as this fish is a skilled jumper and climber. While it coexists peacefully with other gentle fish and invertebrates, caution is necessary if attempting to house it with dwarf shrimp.

A fascinating feature of the Panda Garra is its biofilm grazing behavior. It feeds on the biofilm that grows on driftwood, rocks, and plants, making it an excellent inhabitant for well-lit planted aquariums. While it occasionally consumes fresh fruits and vegetables, it requires a balanced diet of both plant-based and meaty foods, which can be provided in dry and frozen forms.

It is vital to note that biofilm is a crucial part of its diet, so introducing the Panda Garra to new or biologically immature aquariums is not recommended. To ensure ample biofilm growth, consider using Bacter AE and providing high lighting, which contributes to the fish's entertaining behavior.
