Very cute! I love how they sit up on their pectoral fins. That's how you can sex them, pecs long & pointy = male, shorter & rounded = female. Hope your tank is tightly covered, I hear they're jumpers. Someday...

Cute dojos! If there's barbel oddities, it's possible they might have worn them down trying to sift gravel.
I'm not sure, but I think you'll be fine for bioload.

Nice dojos, Dixie. They should be fine in a tank with the 3 shubs.

Nice Dix!!!

They are so chubby and cute!

[dixienut]

any comments on if they are all weather loaches as per the barbles? since true weather loaches take cold water and rest don't care much for it?

I'll assume that they are all the same,..just don't want to harm anyone in the cold that doesn't belong there

There's a lot of variation, they all look like weather loaches to me. Here's a link with pics http://www.loaches.com/species-index/weather-loach-misgurnis-anguillicaudatus
