Two goldies, three dojo's and a yoyo?? Housing issue

Post by MudFrog » Sat Jul 01, 2006 4:59 pm

Hey I need to move a yoyo out of a tank... would it be okay to put him in with three dojo's and two goldfish??

Does anyone see any problem? This yoyo is going to a new home in Aug. will move in with his brothers. I couldn't catch him in time to transport last month..lol Fast little guy.

I seem to remember reading that there were a few loaches that couldn't be housed together but I can't find the posting now...

Thanks much,

Lisa

temperature is going to be an issue, as is water quality.
how big is the tank? what's the temperature? why do you need to move him? couldn't he wait until august?

The temp. of both tanks are the same,50 gallon, about 75-77 since that is what it is in my home at this time. One room is a bit cooler than the other.

He needs to be moved because he is in a tank that 6 cichlids are suppose to go into tomorrow. They are in a quarenteen and I don't think it is fair to make them stay in the little 10 gallon any longer. They are dwarfs but need the room.

If he can stay with the SA Cichlids for a month I don't have a problem leaving him in there...I would be happy to do so... I am slowly raising the temp, I didn't relise it had gone down so much.

And the yoyo is going to a friends that lives two hours away at the beginning of next month. I caught all but this one ... they were in a 75 gallon and really quick.. I am sure he misses his brothers... the three were speed demons..lol

Thanks
