new loaches

Post by ahmandi2 » Thu Dec 09, 2010 12:06 pm

bought two new golden dojos, making it four total in our tank. The new ones are pretty young, and strengely trusting. I've been able to get them to eat out of my hand! So ticklish, and sooo cute!!!
Now, the older loaches are seeing this and realizing that they're missing out on some tasty stuff. So they're coming up for treats too :). Even fatso, the humongously pudgy female, comes to the top and keeps herself afloat while nibbling at my fingers. Excellent fish!!!!!

That's such a great story. I love Dojos, the puppies of the fish tank.

The puppies of the tank!~
I think I got the idea to feed them by finger from you or Diana, not sure which, but thanks for the headsup. Never would have tried it before ;)

I didn't feed mine by hand on purpose. I had a wad of bloodworms in my fingers, and the Dojos whiskered me. Scared me so bad I jumped and yelled. Then I laughed when I realized it was my over excited Dojos. :)

I love the Dojos.
