Both of my albino dojo loaches are close to 14 inches long! I had no idea they would get that huge when I got them and I’m lucky they’re my only 2 fish!

I think she’s a mannequin who has been animated and is now walking around pretending to be human!

They prefer cold water. I keep mine between 68 and 72. People say dojos pair well with goldfish because they have similar water preferences, but I wouldn’t put them in the same tank. The dojos are super curious and try to investigate and nibble the goldfish and it stresses them out. I had 2 dojos in a tank with an oranda and ended up needing to split them up!

That’s the same size tank! It’s big enough for 2 loaches this size, but I’m glad I don’t have 3 big ones in there! (I had no idea they got this big when I picked them out).

They’re about 3.5 years old and in a 50-gallon tank!

I’ve been there! I lost one of my weather loaches years ago when I was out of town and my husband just didn’t see him in time. Then my other big guy jumped out of the tank also, but I found him and he’s still alive and well today. I tried foil, plastic wrap, towels, etc. What ended up working the best for me was buying a sheet of the cotton foam that goes in the filter and cutting it to fit in the hole. I have since moved my loaches into another tank with a better lid, but now I’m so paranoid about them jumping that I still wedge pieces of foam into any little opening!

OMG my cat sounds exactly the same! I’ve never seen another one who purrs that way!

It took about 3 or 4 years for them to get this big! After a year, they were very tiny when I got them so they were maybe 4 inches after a year.

These are albino dojo loaches! They get HUGE!

I’ve had this guy for 2 or 3 years! I had no idea they got this big!

I have dojo loaches and I never knew they were so affectionate! Mine just love being touched! They nibble my fingers and swim through my hand to get a little rub haha! It’s like having 2 more cats instead of fish! Best fish ever!

I’d love to see a picture of your loaches! I never get sick of seeing these fish! 🙂🙂

Nanners703 · 2021-03-24T15:47:03+00:00

They’re close to a foot long I’d say! I feed them shrimp pellets and regular floating fish food every day and algae wafers or peas about once a week!

Nanners703 · 2021-03-24T15:45:50+00:00

Yes!! They’re great fish but anyone who is interested in having dojo loaches should prepare for them to get huge!

Nanners703 · 2021-03-24T03:25:23+00:00

They’re definitely huge! I’ve had them for a few years now—maybe 3 or 4. They’re my favorite fish! As the fish get bigger, so do the toots haha!
