Breeding Weather/dojo Loaches (Misgurnus Anguillicaudatus)

[phil140701]

Hi All
wondered if anyone had any tips for breeding weather loaches, i have 3, 1 male and 2 females but know absolutley nothing of their breeding habbits and really want to learn more about these facinating creatures.

im not sure but these are cold water fish so your more likely to get a good answer in the cold water section.

From what I gather, they are bred in large vats with lots of mud...

http/www.loaches.com/ might be able to help you

Found this article. As to its validity I do not know but worth a read.

i've done some reading up on google and yahoo but i really wanted to hear from anyone who has attempted to breed them weather successfully or not, i love my weather loaches and mine live happily in my tropical tank (as do the one's that the fish shop i bought them from) and i'd quite happily get them their own specific tank if i knew what the optimum conditions were.
thanks for all replies and info makes for very interesting reading apart from the bit about people eating them yukk!
and sorry if this is the wrong forum section just posted to here as it was a loach related question
