![]() | Yoyo And Clown Loaches |
Dolf![]() Enthusiast Posts: 203 Kudos: 180 Votes: 46 Registered: 09-May-2004 ![]() ![]() | Can I safely combine my clown and yoyo loaches? I have 4 3-inch yoyos that I want to put in a 300 gallon tank that has 5 3-4 inch clowns. I recall reading somewhere that certain loaches should not be combined, but I cannot remember which. |

The only loach I have noticed to be aggressive towards other species of loaches (specifically) is the Orange-Finned Loach, Botia modesta. They just don't like other loaches for some reason. Both Clowns and Yoyos are peaceful loaches, so they will be fine as long as they have enough room to hide, claim territories, etc. ![]() I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

You must have some hiding places for them, as they are quite shy. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

I've never seen any signs of aggression between the two. The antics of each type of loach is quite entertaining. Put them together and you have a regualar circus of activity! /:' |
