Weather loach 4"

The Weather Loach, also known as the Dojo Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus), is a fascinating bottom-dweller known for its quirky behavior and ability to sense changes in barometric pressure — often becoming more active before storms. With its elongated, eel-like body and friendly nature, it’s a standout addition to cool freshwater aquariums.
These loaches are hardy, sociable, and highly interactive, often forming loose groups and engaging with their environment. They’re ideal for aquarists who enjoy watching natural behavior and want a fish that’s both functional and full of personality.

Water Parameters
• Temperature: 10–25°C (cool water tolerant)
• pH: 6.0–7.5
• Hardness: Up to 18 dGH

Weather Loaches thrive in cool, oxygen-rich water and require a secure lid, as they’re known to jump.

Diet
Omnivorous and enthusiastic feeders:
• Sinking pellets and wafers
• Frozen foods (bloodworm, daphnia, brine shrimp)
• Blanched vegetables (peas, courgette)
• Occasional live foods
They forage actively and help clean up leftover food.

Temperament & Tank Mates
Weather Loaches are peaceful and sociable. Suitable companions include:
• Goldfish (in large, cool tanks)
• Rosy barbs
• White cloud mountain minnows
• Hillstream loaches
• Larger danios
Avoid aggressive or very small tank mates, and ensure tank size supports group dynamics.
