Hi,

I've decided to eventually put 4 Dwarf Gouramis in my 75L tank, along with perhaps 2 Pakistan Loaches.

I would probably prefer Zebra Loaches (Botia Striata) going by their description (more placid), but I don't think they're available here.

From the reading I've done, it seems Yo-Yo Loaches can be a bit aggressive. Would they be okay as tankmates for the DG's?

Thanks
 
I have two yo yos I bought in 1989. Over the years I've housed a variety of gouramis with them and never had any problems. I've had dwarf g.s in the tank, a 55, and have pearl g.s in there now. The yo yos pretty much ignore the other fish except at feeding time, when they tend to elbow smaller fish out of the way. Yo yos grow pretty slow too so if you get small ones it will be years before they become a problem, if ever.
