DESCRIPTION OF ITEM:

 The Golden Dojo Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) is a variant of the Dojo Loach and is known for its bright golden coloration. It is a peaceful and hardy freshwater fish that is often kept in home aquariums due to its attractive appearance and active behavior.

Here are some key facts about the Golden Dojo Loach:

Appearance:

  • Color: Golden Dojo Loaches have a striking golden-yellow or light orange hue, which makes them stand out in aquariums. The coloration can vary depending on the individual and its environment.
  • Body Shape: They have a long, slender body with a smooth, eel-like appearance.
  • Size: They typically grow to about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) in length, but some can grow a bit larger in spacious environments.

Behavior:

  • Social: Golden Dojo Loaches are very peaceful and do well in community tanks. They enjoy the company of other loaches or similarly peaceful species.
  • Active: They are very active, often swimming along the bottom of the tank or burrowing into the substrate.
  • Bottom Dweller: These loaches prefer to stay at the bottom of the tank, where they can search for food.

Tank Requirements:

  • Water Conditions: They prefer cool to moderate water temperatures, ideally between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C). These loaches are more tolerant of colder water than most tropical fish.
  • Tank Size: A minimum of a 20-gallon tank is recommended, though larger tanks are ideal to provide them with plenty of swimming space.
  • Substrate: They enjoy soft, sandy substrate where they can dig and burrow.

Diet:

  • Golden Dojo Loaches are omnivores and have a diverse diet. They enjoy eating small pellets, live or frozen food like bloodworms, and they will also scavenge for leftover food on the tank's bottom.

Care:

  • Hardy: They are known for being hardy fish, adapting well to various tank conditions, which makes them great for beginners.
  • Tankmates: They can coexist with a wide range of other fish species, but avoid keeping them with aggressive or very large fish that may harm them.
  • Water Filtration: While they can tolerate less-than-perfect water conditions, it’s important to keep the water clean and well-filtered to maintain the health of the loach and other tank inhabitants.

Golden Dojo Loaches are a fun and beautiful addition to many community aquariums due to their peaceful nature, active behavior, and striking coloration.
