ID these loaches

[BC_Kron]

I've had these two loaches for going on two years now. They were both purchased as Dojo Loaches, but I would like to find out exactly what they are. They currently reside in a 110g, temp=80, ph =6.4. with some Geophagus Surinemensis, and Geophagus Juripari. They have tons of personality, and are really plump!

There's at least three species that go by the same common name, but those look like Misgurnus anguillicaudatus to me. :smile:

Very social creature with humans - always in the way when I clean. My Son loves them... they're growing on me :rolleyes: .

They are one of my favorites. Very efficient scavengers! Thanks for the info Mel.

They are Dojo loaches..also called weather loaches. I have two of them in my ninty... had them for years now. Very good cleaners, very funny to watch..and very very tameable.
