I've been wanting a weather loach for a while but can't seem to find out how much space they need. Are they dirty or not? I love how they zip around the tank like maniacs! hah.gif
I'm trying to calculate how many fish I can have in my 180 litre. I currently have 2 fancy GF and a snail and I'd love 2 more GF and a loach. Maybe this might be stretching it?
If anyone knows about loaches I'd love to hear from them

yeah.gif

smile.gif Loaches are able to get up to 8 inches long.I've never seen one that long myself.Mine are maybe 4 or 5. 180 works out close to what? 40 gals? 4 Goldies and a snail sound pretty full to me,but truthfully,if you have good filtration,and you keep up with your water changes etc.,I think you could squeeze to Dojo's in the tank. rolleyes.gif I don't think that they're messy fish at all,and I'd personally go for it. laugh.gif

Hey Devs! Only just noticed your reply here.
I think 180 is around 46/7 US gals and 40 UK. Four fancies make 40 (US) + 2.5 for Big Bertha which leaves 3/4 over. So, if the loach isn't too dirty I guess he'll just fit? Eeeeeee! biggrin.gif
Do you think he'd bother the snail or the others as he's such a maniac? krazy.gif
Dreaming of a 100 gallon..........

I think you can get away with a pair of them(They really don't like going solo)I've never seen my Dojos bother anone, well....except when Gizmo was trying to pull food out of one of the Goldies mouth's! ignore.gif rofl3.gif
