Notes

Yoyo loaches are social and energetic fish. They get their name from the way they explore the tank up and down like a “yoyo”.  In captivity, they generally grow to about 2-3 inches, but can get up to 6″ in the wild.  Provide them with at least a 30 gallon tank, but the larger the better so they have room to swim around and explore.  Their patterns can change over time, especially as they mature from their juvenile stage.  This is one species that appreciates a soft or sandy substrate.  Avoid coarse or sharp gravels that could cut their bellies.

Tank Mates

Dwarf Corydoras are great tank mates with most shrimp species!

They're also great with Tetras, Rasboras, Danios, Hatchetfish, Mollies, Dwarf Gourami, Angelfish, Guppies, Loaches and Otocinclus

Smooth sand or gravel substrate preferred.  They're not solely algae eaters, so provide wafers and other foods as well.  Careful with aggressive fish eaters as they may not get enough nutrition at the bottom of tank.
