How to catch Golden dojo Fish

 To catch a Golden Dojo Loach, follow these steps and tips:



1. Habitat and Location

  • Native Range: Found in slow-moving rivers, streams, and ponds in East Asia, especially in countries like China and Japan.
  • Aquarium Settings: Many people keep these loaches in aquariums because they are hardy and beautiful.
  • In the Wild: Look in shallow freshwater areas with vegetation, mud, and silt. They prefer places with low currents.

2. Time and Weather Conditions

  • Active during dawn and dusk (crepuscular).
  • They are more likely to bite before rain or low-pressure systems, as they are known to react to changes in barometric pressure.

3. Gear and Bait to Use

  • Fishing Gear:

    • Light tackle or small fishing rods are best.
    • Use fine fishing lines (2-4 lbs test) to avoid spooking them.
  • Bait:

    • Live bait: Earthworms, bloodworms, or small insects.
    • Artificial bait: Small lures or soft plastic bait imitating larvae or worms.
    • In aquariums, they love frozen brine shrimp and sinking pellets.

4. Techniques for Fishing

  • Use a floater rig to keep the bait suspended just above the bottom, where loaches like to swim.
  • Slow and gentle movements work best since Golden Dojo Loaches are sensitive and wary.
  • Try fishing in areas with aquatic plants or near submerged logs.

5. Handling Tips

  • Careful handling: Use a wet hand or soft net to handle the fish. Their slimy skin is delicate and offers them protection.
  • If keeping them in an aquarium, ensure a soft substrate like sand or smooth gravel to avoid injuring their bellies.

Bonus: Fun Fact

  • Golden Dojo Loaches are sometimes called weather fish because they become active and restless before storms, detecting changes in atmospheric pressure.

With patience and the right setup, you'll increase your chances of catching these unique fish! Let me know if you need any further tips.
