	Yo Yo Loaches and a Zebra Loach
exu Hobbyist Posts: 68 Kudos: 43 Votes: 1 Registered: 12-May-2004	I have had an uncontrollable snail problem for well over a year now. I don't like putting chemicals in my tanks so I have been keeping an eye out for yo yo loaches. They are not ound very often in my area. Of all places I found some at walmart. I asked for 3 of them and upon getting home I noticed I had 2 yo yos and a Golden Zebra Loach... I am curious if anyone thinks the zebra will socialize with the yo yos or if I am beter off trying to swap out for another yo yo. so fa (couple hours) the zebra keeps to itself while the yo yos have been hanging out together. thanks!

He'll either go to live by himself, any loaches are better than no other loaches, or with more yoyos. You could try taking him to a different fish store that has zebras if you find one but otherwise the only thing I'd do is add another yoyo if you have space. Otherwise they are as happy as they are gonna get.

You can if you prefer, return him to the store to get another yoyo, but I doubt if he'd be happy alone over there.
