Pond Loach

The Pond Loach, also known as the Dojo Loach, Oriental Weatherloach or Oriental Weatherfish, is a freshwater fish in the loach family. The 'weather' moniker comes from their ability to detect changes in barometric pressure before a storm and react accordingly. Unlike most other fish, the Pond Loach can burrow into, and hide in, soft sediment, breathe atmospheric air through their posterior canal, and thus survive for long periods of time outside the water.
