I need a few quick questions answered on the all time loveable Yoyo Loaches.
Q1. How long do they live for?
Q2. Can they be kept with guppies?
Q3. Most importantly, will they eat eggs &/or fry?

Thanks in advance
 
The will eat eggs and fry. They can be kept with adult guppies. Life expectancy is relative to water quality, food, and whether or not they get any diseases/parasites, but quite a few years.

I have yo yo loaches with my guppies and no problem at all. The ones I have are very peaceful!

I guess it is a trial and error thing!

HTH!!

How big is your tank? I wouldn't keep yoyos in less than a 55gal. They grow to 6 in. They need room to swim and explore and loaches should have clean well oxygenated water with good flow, more than guppies or bettas would be happy with.
 
At full grown they can pick off newly born guppie fry, if given the oportunity. Wich mine have done.
