Yoyo Loach

Soniacyc · 11-25-2005, 02:02 PM

Would Yoyo Loaches bother my betta and cory catfish (I read some where they would).
If so, are there another other snail eating fish that would work (I have so many of those abnnoying little snails)..
I was told clown loaches are great, but they get way too big for my tank

I have 4 yo yo loaches in a 20 gal. long with 5 cory cats and 1 male betta. They get along beautifully. I would definately get at least 3 of them though so they keep each other occupied. They are wonderful!

be careful not to overcrowd tank. It seems pretty stock and angles get quite big. Yoyos as well as most loaches do better in buddy system. they come out and become more playful with mates.

zebra loaches don't get as big as yoyo's, and should eat the snails
