I’ve had my dojo for nearly a year without any issues. Yesterday, I noticed a bump under her dorsal fin then researched through forums and didn’t find an answer. Today, the bump has tripled in size(at least) and has a few other bumps elsewhere. I’m not sure if I can save her but any information...

“He” is definitely a she based on those gender pictures. The pictures I posted are actually of the same dojo! That’s how much she’s grown since May. I definitely thought she was a male until she got bigger then I questioned it. That’s a monster dojo! His videos are great for acquiring knowledge...

I haven’t fed him by hand! He’s definitely not as playful as he used to be and doesn’t swim to the top as much anymore. He follows my hand to find his food though! I’m still not sure that he’s a male lol. He was a lone wolf when I got him from my LFS. I know they mainly breed in the spring so...

Makes sense! Thank you for responding!

I’ve read 12” too but only in it’s natural habitat. Pretty cool that he could get that big!

I’ve read that golden weather(dojo) loaches grow quickly in their first years of life. I’ve had mine in a 75 gallon since May and he’s(I think it’s a male) grown 5 inches in the past six months! The “max” length on them is 6”, yet mine is nearly 8” now. I don’t really want to get a 125 gallon...

Coarse sponges work great too!

Yes, he needs a water change again. He refuses to eat the flakes and only the krill in his food. The first picture is from today. I’m guessing he’s responding to the medication because he definitely looked like he was going to die in the third picture. Nitrite and nitrate are 0, ph is 6.8 and I...

Is he scratching against anything in the tank? How is he breathing? His gills definitely look more inflamed than the picture yesterday

I’ve had my Betta since February and soon after he developed brown patches on his back. I figured it was from stress and he was fine after a water change but still discolored. It’s April now and he’s gotten progressively worse. He currently has fin/tail rot and patches on his sides have shown up...
