Garra Rufa (Dr. Fish)| Set of 6

Relatively peaceful, garra rufa or most commonly known as doctor fish can be maintained alongside other species which require similar environmental conditions. Not difficult to keep in a well-maintained set-up but a display arranged to resemble a flowing stream or river, with a substrate of variably-sized, water-worn rocks, sand, fine gravel and perhaps some small boulders, is highly recommended.

Fresh fruit and vegetables such as cucumber, melon, blanched spinach or courgette can be offered occasionally and homemade, gelatine-bound recipes containing a mixture of dried fish food, puréed shellfish, fresh fruit and vegetables are also proven to work well.

Fish Size Guide:

The 'Maximum Size' outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult. For the actual size please use the select menu above.

We prefer younger stock for their better ability to adapt to new water parameters and higher tolerance against transport. On rare occasions you may receive larger specimens when small fish are unavailable, however the smallest should be expected unless the size is noted as "Large" or "Adult".
