Merge edit
The two articles are definitely about the same fish, and even have similar openings:
Misgurnus anguillicaudatus: "The dojo loach or weather loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, is [...]"
Weather loach: "Weather or dojo loaches, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, are [...]"
Weather loach is the more elaborate article, but some points in the Misgurnus anguillicaudatus article aren't included in this one - hence a suggestion to merge, rather than a request for deletion.
I would do it myself, but I just stumbled across these articles by chance, and know nothing about the subject - and would hate to wrangle a context not entirely obvious to me. -pinkgothic 18:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- RM has taken care of the merge, hence above strike-out (no longer relevant).
- Thanks for the swift reaction! -pinkgothic 16:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Finger trauma edit
Dojo Loach biting a human's finger completely off?! At a maximum length of 12" I am not sure this is even physically possible. Not to mention that only having a single row of pharyngeal (throat) teeth makes it a little more difficult. I am also unable to find any mention of this on any other sites. Someone is pulling your chain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.251.1 (talk) 22:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh Big Brother, edit
Won't you take me loaching? :O)
On a more serious note, I'd like to point out (as the article itself does) that weather loach is an ambiguous name. I'd like to see the article moved to Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, but failing that, wouldn't dojo loach be a better choice, since it is unambiguous (and also seems to get more Google hits than weather loach)? Another possibility might be oriental weather loach. Qatter (talk) 15:59, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
