Yeah, the loaches would love it, but you'd have to clean it! :shock:

That was my thought but if they could design one with a specific "river-type" water flow, it might not be too bad (okay, it'd be AWFUL), but it's like those hamster things you had as a kid!!! Could you imagine throwing a whole mess of dojos in one of those? Or even a swarm of Khulis? Some botias maybe and some true burrowers... omg it'd be better than tv, reading and especially this damn computer addiction!! :mrgreen:

Oh man, I've been reading about the dojos... serious case of loach lust developing here. Do you keep them?

Yeah, I just lost one... we had two and never in my life have I fell in love with a FISH before. They have personalities like no other. My boy dojo's got my fiance trained to feed him almost whenever he wants - it's priceless - he begs....

Now he's just mopey and sad but we're gonna try to find him some friends but I've had pangio khulies, blacks, couple angelis botia and the dojos and my dojos are BY FAR the life of the party in my tank =)

My condolences to you and the remaining dojo! Can you get more locally?

They sound wonderful. At first I was put off by the fact that my apartment is too warm... and now I'm considering a chiller! Ridiculous, I tell you...

To mount a Hydor Koralia powerhead in one of the tubes you'd get a master-blaster system for hillstreams... or anything else that's a bit athletic. Couldn't go with Botia-types as you'd need a million ramshorn snails to even start to keep it clean. Or maybe very small botia and a bunch of mystery snails.... that might work. Starsplitter would know.

When I found that tank before I thought, Wow that must be a pain to clean! Cool though. :D

I can just imagine a bunch of loaches having a grand ol' time in there. ^__^
