Sadly, one of my Dojos passed away yesterday, it had been acting very strangely, unlike the other 3 it never went to the surface and jsut kinda swam around on the bottom. No idea what it died from, it had been eating and its body showed no signs of any problems, and everyone else in the tank looks perfect and is acting fine.
So I went to my LFS today in the hopes of replacing my lost Dojo, when I happened to notice they had a group of Yoyos that had recently come in. The little guys were just too cute, each of them is only about an inch long, so I broke down and got 4 of them. The store was currently out of Dojos, so that will have to wait.
Pictures to follow.

Felhad, are you planning to house the dojos and the yoyos together?

Yeah, i'm planning on keeping the temperature at about 75 to accommodate both species.

Sorry to hear about your dojo. I'm sure you'll enjoy watching the new guys.

Just for your information Felhad, keeping temperate and tropical fish together really doesn't allow you to make either a good long-term home.

Time for me to find an aquarium chiller.
While you guys need heaters, I need a chiller to keep my temps manageable for my fish once summer (which will really heat the water up) comes.
This December to February will be a fun time for me.

I'm not surprised why coldwater species just don't thrive for so long.
