Dojo Loach companions (that aren't boring)

[OutbackJack]

Like the title says, I'm on the hunt for dojo loach companions that aren't boring. I know Bala Sharks should be a good fit for them.

Basically, my fiancee bought two loaches for me and she's been keeping them in her 25G tank. However, they're too rowdy for their tank mates so I'm gonna transfer them to my 150G tank. (The main culprit I named Buck Wild).

However, nearly everything I see that Google says is compatible with them just seem... boring.

Would a group of white cloud mountain minnows be boring to you.

Loaches are social fish. They really need to be kept in larger groups.

Dojo Loach companions (that aren't boring) What about a few more dojos?

Oh I definitely plan on getting another two to go with them.

Dojos are hilarious..my kid has a few and she hand feeds them, pets them, and they will actually sit in her hand under water.

She has since then tried a bunch of other loaches and none get close to their silly personalities except sumo loaches. They also do ridiculous antics like perch on filter hoses or on top of leaves, peek out of small crevices, and chase each other around from rock to rock

Yea, they've grown to be some of my favorite fish. It's like watching dogs play.

Also, they're ravenous as hell. One reason I wanna move them so the mollies and betas have a chance to eat. These dang dojos act a fool when food hits the water

I keep a couple of Altus Tinfoil Barbs with my Loaches. They are the smaller variety of Tinfoil. Mine topped out at eight inches. Altus
Tinfoils are very active & peaceful. A 150 gal. tank is plenty big for a few of them.

With your tank size you have plenty of options, here are some that may interest you:

1. Goldfish (tons of personality, especially fancy ones, quite comical in nature)

2. Rosy Barbs (you could have a sizable school with plenty of action)

3. White Cloud Minnows (you could have a massive school with also provides plenty of action)
