do-jo

Anybody know anything about Do-Jos? I bought one about 6 months ago but can't find any info about it. It seems to be doing very well but I would like info about it.

Dojo's, or Weather Loach are mad, mad fish! You will have either the Chinese or the Russian, very similar but one grows larger than the other (the Russian I think). Feed them good quality catfish pellets and frozen foods such as bloodworm. They prefer cooler water but will do fine in a trop. setup so long as temp. isn't too high. Try and get another 1 or 2 as well, they are great in groups.
When boromic pressure changes ie. before thunder storms they will go crazy and swim erratically around the tank, that is where they get the name Weather Loach.

Thanks for the info. My Do-Jo is a nutcase. Every once and a while you can hear him freaking out from rooms away knocking stuff around and stirring up the gravel. It doesn't like anything invading it's territory and usually hides all the time only coming out to eat once a day.

The best fish are those with character and Dojo's have that in spades! Ace fish B)
