The remarkable giant loach of Taiwan

Abstract

The maximum body length of the native Loach in Taiwan is about 15 cm. The body size of the male is smaller and more slender than the female. The dream to improve those limitations in loach culture was achieved by Mr. Wen-bicn Su, a private farmer, through six years of selection. In loath culture, many strains or species were introduced from foreign countries into Taiwan, especially from mainland China.
