Luis Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) My LFS is keeping a adult yo-yo loach by himself and in a small tank due to him being returned twice because of aggression . I kinda want to get him and put him in my 40gal with 1 adult male kribensis and 9 full grown tiger barbs who are pretty good at holding their ground and not being overly annoying to other fish. I know loaches in general love to be in groups however I don’t know anywhere that sells them at the same big size. I feel I could take better care of him than the LFS. Thoughts on the combination? all thoughts and experiences would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Lee626 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I adopted a single yo-yo from someone who was getting rid of their tank, I put it in a community tank with a bunch of clown loaches and other stuff... it doesn’t really harm anything, it does have moments where it chases the clowns around sometimes but it’s not a 24/7 thing and it’s been over a year with no apparent problems. It doesn’t seem to bother anything that’s not on the bottom. I did have kribensis in there at one point but there was a group so I dunno how a single male would react. If this individual fish is known to be aggressive I would be cautious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Blake Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I got three that are large ones and I put them in my 300 they are doing great with the smaller ones that I had in their. I would say try it and if he doesn't work out you can either find him a home that you feel will be good for him or this is a good time to get another tank and you can build the stocking around him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
