Catfish Id Please?

[Seed_Lord]

Hey guys/gals,
 
a friend of mine has this catfish in a cold water tank and I've never seen one before and I'm taking it off his hands cause it bullies his goldfish so want to know what it is and what it needs!
 

 
 
 
thanks in advance!

Its a weather loach, or dojo loach.
She will be happier with others of her own kind as they are very social fish, an odd number groupashould be OK.
Cold water tank is right.
Also they prefer sand as they like to borrow. Often I think I've lost mine only to find the chilling under the sand in a group or piled on top of each other.
She is probably looking for some one to play with as they aren't aggressive.
They like algae waters, and places to hide under...

did think it looked a bit loachy!
 
Thanks for the advise and yeah I've seen him it does look like playing

they get real big
10 inches

Golden dojo loaches grow to 10 inches and also need big tanks (50 gallons) these loaches love to dig and tanks need lots of sand to properly house them. they also like to jump out of the tank so keep a tightly closed lid. they like to eat snails so be sure to supply that!

I use Seriouslyfish a lot, but I also always double or triple check any site. The info on dojos is pretty good except, as noted by nic1 above, they should have mentioned that these fish really need to be kept in groups of at least 3, and more would be better.
