Males can get to 6" and slightly larger, females to around 5". one note on your tank though, yoyos do much better in groups rather than being kept alone. Personally, if I were you I'd get rid of the loach and get a couple more corys. Or trade in the corys for more loaches. A school of loaches and a school of corys would likely be too many bottom feeders for a 26 gallon. Last edited by jason_r_s at 06-Jan-2005 15:23
