Weather Loaches
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they thought. I found some "weather loaches" for free on craigslist. Some person is trying to get rid of all their fish. I assume they are referring to some dojo loaches.
Anyway I was wondering if they would be able to live happily in my 125g? (once my cotton mouth is under control of course)

Absolutely. Ours have lived in both colder and more tropical tanks with no issues.
But... be aware that they prefer to have sand or large rounded rocks as a substrate. They can (and will) bury themselves and love to filter feed by sifting through sand.

Kimberly,
Just wondering...did you grab those dojo loaches? If so, how are they doing? I recently acquired a group of 10 and absolutely love them.

I wish I could find more dojo loaches. They're cool and fun to watch.

Sorry this is kinda late response, haven't been on very often lately.. But no I decided on not getting them. Just because I didn't think my tank would make a great home for them.
