COMMENTS
The yoyo loach is a peaceful, schooling fish. Which do well in community tanks. The yoyo loach gets its name from the markings on its flanks. A great fish for a small community aquarium. Should be kept in a group of at least six because the yoyo loach enjoys the company of its own kind. Can be fed with flakes and live foods.
BREEDING
It is extremely difficult to breed yoyo loaches. Very rarely accomplished in a home aquarium.
