Weather Loach 4-5"

Bring a fascinating and playful presence to the bottom of your aquarium with the Weather Loach 4-5". This unique fish, also known as the Dojo Loach, is a true conversation starter, featuring a long, eel-like body and a calm, inquisitive personality. Its sleek, mottled body and expressive barbels make it a delightful addition to any peaceful community tank. This 4-5 inch specimen is a great size to start with and watch as it grows into a larger, more impressive creature.

The Weather Loach is a peaceful and highly social bottom-dweller that loves to live in groups of three or more. It is well-known for its fascinating behavior of becoming more active and frantic as a storm approaches, reacting to changes in barometric pressure. It loves to burrow, so a soft, sandy substrate is essential to prevent injury. Its hardy and engaging nature makes it a delightful addition to any aquatic environment.

Diet

For their diet, Weather Loaches are omnivores and scavengers. They will happily eat leftover food that sinks to the bottom of the tank. To ensure they get all the necessary nutrients, you should provide a varied diet. Feed them high-quality sinking pellets or wafers as a staple. You can also supplement their diet with a variety of frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and tubifex worms, as well as some blanched vegetables. A balanced diet will ensure your weather loach remains healthy and active.
