	YoYo Loaches with no YoYo?
So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	Hi Guys, I was just wondering, I keep seeing pics of peoples YOYO loaches, that have very distinctive YOYO written on their sides, and are very black and silvery white. My YoYos dont have YOYO anymore - this disappeared when they reached 3 inches, and they are kinda pinkish with browny lines. They were sold to me as "Mini Rosetta Loaches". I have 3, 2 males and a female. I will try to get a pic tonight for you guys to see. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

We get yoyos in at work every couple of months, some have the distinctive "yoyo" patterning, some don't. If they're being bred in fish farms, perhaps these "mini rosetta loaches" are the result of selective breeding. Personally, I like the "yoyo" yoyo loaches best.

I tried to get a quick picture but these guys are non-stop :%) There's also a recent post in Photo Booth with some nice B&W shots of yoyos: http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Photo%20Booth/59321.html?200505110558 Theresa_M attached this image: Last edited by Theresa_M at 12-May-2005 07:45[/font] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Also, I'm pretty sure that the yo-yo marking will disappear with age, and become more stripey and "disorganized" rather than a clear yo-yo spelling. *Back in the saddle!*

The "mini rosetta loach" thing is still throwing me off Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames
