Nice Yo-yo's and Clowns !!!
I too love loaches - they and dwarf cichlids are my favorite fish.
I only have one Yo-yo now about 2 years old and 3 inches long - and he is shy and skittish even though he is the biggest fish in my tank. So I don't see him out and about that ofetn - he prefers to hang out in one of the dwarf cichlids coconut shell cave he commandered. Now my 6 clowns are always out.
I couldn't tell for sure, but the one bigger fish about half way thru your video - was that a Butterfly Hillstream Loach? I just added a small one to my tank and it looked familiar - but it was on your video just briefly - and my Hillstream loach stays on the glass searching for food instead of looking on the substrate (which worries me that he may not be finding enough to eat).

Nope :-) the only loaches in that video were clowns, zebra's, yoyo's and one mean ol Tiger. There was also a big (8.5") pleco that disrupted teh clown loaches on the ground :-)

You didn't happen to purchase the Tiger loach from Pets West in Broadmead? If you did its probably the mean *#$%^&* that I returned some months ago. Its a beautiful fish but very nasty!

Nope, I almost did though.... lol
I got it from Worlds Exotic Pets in the Western Communities.
I'm swinging by Pets West tomorrow though to pick up some Shrimp, plant food, and put a down payment on the 4lb bucket of Tetramin Pro I ordered...
