Will my weather loach grow

Did you keep the nitrates down? As long as your water quality was good, it shouldn’t be stunted. But keeping water quality good in a 2.5 with a Dojo would require 50% water changes almost daily. I had a dojo several years ago that was 11”
Unfortunately not. The 2.5 gallon tank came with a not soo good filtration system
You’re gonna want much bigger than a 10, I’d say at least a 40 for a dojo that will get 12” easily. Preferably bigger. It may or may not be stunted, I’d get it an appropriate sized tank and keep those parameters good and see what happens. They also do better in groups. If you want a similar loach for a 10g, I’d go with a khuli but they’re not as personable as the dojo
FA is right about all of that. They are very social fish and it is really lonely now. You might want to consider rehoming it and get fish that do well in a 10 G.
I have weather loaches myself, they can easily grow 4" in a year without power feeding them.

I think I will have no luck rehoming it? There is no one around interested in things like this. The pet stores suck around here. Any advice on how I could go about doing that
Sorry, tank is still too small. 40 gallon for there minimum, 75 gallon for there best. It may be stunted, i herd they grow fast enough to outgrow smaller tanks.
