Wheather Loach

The Weather loach is not a goldfish but, he is still a coldwater fish compatible with all goldfish species. They can grow 8-11 inches and must be kept in a 15 gallon tank minimum. I find them really cute, but, like eels to protect himself they are covered in mucus. They are really hardy fish and people have found them in just mud with no apparent water at all. They can live out of water for 6-8 hours and they have been known to be escape artists. Many fish owners leave the house for 5 hours and soon as they leave there weather loach jumps out on the floor and when they get back they see on the floor, worried the owner puts him back in the tank and he appears fine. They have speckles on there back and can be also be a rare gold colour.

Here are some care facts:

-Keep wheather loaches in a 15 gallon tank min.

-Use aquatic sand in your aquarium because they love to dig and coarse gravel can damage there gills.

-They are bottom feeders and although they are very playful fish they are very difficult to breed.
