Gentle filtration providing a little surface agitation is adequate and high flow rates best avoided.

Ensure that small specimens are unable to enter filter intakes and cover the tank well as most loaches do jump at times, especially when introduced to a new environment.

Use a soft, sandy substrate since this species likes to dig and tends to spend some of its time completely buried. When coarser gravel is used it may become stressed or damage itself, and feeding behaviour can be inhibited.

A few driftwood roots and branches, placed in such a way that plenty of shady spots are formed, can be used to add structure to the display and addition of dried leaf litter would provide additional cover and aid in simulating natural conditions.

Fairly dim lighting is also preferable with aquatic plants from genera such as Microsorum, Taxiphyllum, and Cryptocoryne suitable.

Such habitats are typically shaded from the sun by marginal vegetation and the dense tree canopy above.

The water generally has a negligible dissolved mineral content, is poorly buffered and pH can be as low as 3.0 or 4.0 due to the gradual release of tannins and organic acids from decaying plant material.

Depending on locality the substrate may be composed of peat, mud or sand with the fish typically abundant in piles of leaf litter.

Most commonly found in shallow, slow-moving sections of forest streams or other calm habitats such as swamps, oxbows, and backwaters.

Many such environments are associated with ancient peat swamps and contain black water although it’s also found in clear waters which may or may not be tannin-stained to some extent.

Fraser-Brunner (1940) described populations from southern Sumatra as a subspecies, Acanthophthalmus kuhlii sumatranus, but these are currently considered synonymous with P. semicincta (Tan and Kottelat, 2009).

Colour pattern is variable both within and between populations and the species will probably turn out to represent a complex of closely-related taxa with at least 3 genetic lineages already identified (Bohlen et al. 2011, also see ‘Notes’ below).

Currently accepted to occur in Peninsular Malaysia plus the Great Sunda Islands of Sumatra and Borneo but the true extent of its distribution is unclear.

Type locality is given as Malay Peninsula (Malacca, Johore) which corresponds to what’s now normally referred to as Mawai district collected in Johor state at the southern tip of Peninsular Malaysia, but similar-looking fish have been recorded from numerous localities across the above range.
