Enjoys the company of other dojo loaches, but may be kept alone if necessary. Dojos are often referred to as Weather Loaches because of their ability to predict the weather. When there is a sudden change in the barametric pressure or a temperature change these loaches will start swimming frantically around a tank. Make sure your aqarium is covered well or they will likely go flying out of the tank. Return to Index
