Thrilled to find this site!

Post by grendel9 » Sun Jul 17, 2011 2:05 pm

I hope this is appropriate to post ...

I am so happy to find this site! It is hard to find accurate information on loaches.

I am the proud mom to 5 golden dojos: Gonzo, Rizzo, Pepe, Fozzie, and Beaker. They're recent family members; I had one for years (when I lived in CA) named Byron, who used to eat out of my hand. He was part of a tropical community tank. My current setup is for the benefit of the muppets, so it's a cold water tank; there are a few guppies in there.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to the owners of this site. It's wonderful!!

Thrilled to have you join us! :D

So, named after the muppets, eh? Dojo loaches sure are cute enough to deserve those names. :wink:
How big is the tank if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for the welcome!

They're in a 60 gallon at the moment. They're all little guys right now. Eventually, when I buy a house next year, I'll go bigger, but I'm in an apartment right now. I do have the room to go bigger if I need to, but I'd prefer to wait for the 150 (or 200, if I can swing it) in a more permanent location.

Glad you got the muppet reference!! :)

I do have a question ... how much open sand do you think they need? I'm inclined to fill up most of the bottom with hiding places, but I do want to give them areas to roam, bury themselves, etc.

Thanks again!!
