	Question about Yoyo's
FishKeeperJim Big Fish Member MTS Anonymous Posts: 348 Kudos: 208 Votes: 186 Registered: 09-Jan-2007	Hi guys, do Yoyo Loaches prefer a heavily planted tank? Right now I have two small ones (about 1.5 inches) in a ten gallon with a CAE (about the same size) and an adult Betta It is lightly planted 1 Amazon sword and 2 Anubias Nanna Petite. I was planning to move them to the 55 when they outgrew the Ten gallon, but I was wondering if they like the more plants to hide in. I dont now much about Yoyo's so any help would be appreciated. mts.gif" border="0"> I vote do you? My Tanks at Photobucket

That doesn't necessarily mean heavy planting. but a well planted tank will mean that they are less stressed and more active. I'd also look to add at least another three as these are sociable fish. If you're looking for more info on them, here are two good links. http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/603.htm http://www.loaches.com/species-index/botia-almorhae Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

They're very active, so make sure they have lots of room to play. Very heavily planted may hinder that. Oh and make sure the tank is covered... I had beautiful one probably around 6" jump out the tank long ago. They're strong, active swimmers. ={ The pottery that growls!
