Taiwan Torrent Carp

A stream-associated cyprinid commonly identified as Acrossocheilus paradoxus. It becomes a substantial fish, reaching around 20 cm in standard length, and needs space beyond its juvenile sale size.

Aquarium and care

Provide a long mature aquarium with rocks, open swimming room, strong oxygenation, and clean flowing water. This species prefers moderate conditions rather than consistently hot tropical water; published care ranges include approximately 15–25°C.

Feeding

Offer a varied diet with sinking prepared foods, suitable small aquatic foods, and grazing opportunities. Keep feeding balanced and remove uneaten food.

Temperament and tank mates

Choose robust companions with similar temperature and flow needs. Confirm compatibility and observe territorial behavior; delicate slow-water fish are a poor fit.
