Hi-
I have two of these guys, along with one "regular" dojo- I have noticed lately the golds, which are smaller than the brown, have been getting thinner.

I feed a wide variety of foods, have tunnels and caves, and their tanks mates are a few rainbows and one small catfish. I see them eat every time I feed. They are active and all over the tank, lying over branches, plant fronds, hanging out by the filter intake, etc. They're just getting thin. The brown dojo seems fine, and there are zero signs of injury, or disease.

What is it????

I have had them for at least a year. They are small, but they were smaller when I bought them. they are in a 15gallon tank, which is small for an adult, but like I said they're only ~2.5 inches or so. I have plans to set up a 65g tank in the near future to move the inhabitants of this tank into.

The water quality is WNL, I use FW salt in all of my tanks, the temp is right about 76* F. I tried looking on line to see if there were any particulars for gold dojos, and everything I've found says they are hardy, easy keepers, not picky about water quality, not picky about food, not territorial, etc.
