Parrotfish are named for their dentition, which is distinct from other fish, including other labrids. Their numerous teeth are arranged in a tightly packed mosaic on the external surface of their jaw bones, forming a parrot-like beak with which they rasp algae from coral and other rocky substrates (which contributes to the process of bioerosion).

The kuhli loach originates from Southeast Asia and frequents clean, slow-moving streams and rivers in Sumatra, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Borneo. Although kuhli loaches aren’t a schooling species, the fish are social and often form groups in the wild.
