	Several questions about yoyo loaches
Discuslover87 Mega Fish Posts: 1037 Kudos: 96 Votes: 0 Registered: 30-Sep-2002	I was considering putting three yoyo loaches in my 58G, which will hold 3 discus but currently only has a bunch of tetras in it. Due to the discus's preference for warmer waters, I plan to keep the temperature around 80-82 degrees fahrenheit. Will yoyo loaches be ok with these temperatures? Also, this is a planted aquarium. Will they disturb the plants? Are they nocturnal or diurnal? Do they show up a lot during the day? Would owners of yoyos consider them active or a little more passive? Would the discus tolerate them? Thanks everyone.

Mine don't disturb my plants, but they do dig around in the substrate a bit. They are fairly active, and will come out in the day once they get used to the new tank. I don't know much about discus, but yoyos are usually very peaceful- though mine have occasionally pushed my cories out of the way to get to an algae wafer.
