zgreen vs. dojo loach

[XRAYZ]

well... my outside pond sprung a leak so i had to drain it and bring in the survivors.

this included a common pleco and a fairly large dojo loach. i have 2 tanks.... the 224gallon was certain death and the 135gallon he had a chance....

it lasted about 24 hours .....

zgreen got a big snack :yummy:

a question, do dojo loaches have spikes by the eyes like clown loaches do? i know in asia people like to use loaches as feeders (don't know what kind specifically but they have the body shape of the dojo), and i always thought they are god's gift to bichirs as far as feeder fish go, longish, relatively thin, have decent mass, bottom dwelling...

How big was the dojo loach

I think they use dojo loaches or kuhli loaches as feeders in asia and I don't think they have spikes by their eyes like clown loaches.

And it seems delicious and yes they use both kuhli and dojo loaches as feeders-Anne

The people also eat dojos over there. And nope they don't have spikes over the eyes. I used to keep them but my tanks were getting too hot to keep them- even without a heater!!!

Oh great. I have a nice 7" dojo that I will forever think of as the "fat noodle"

Hmmm, now I want to pitch him in with the lap and ornate........
