What type and size Cichlids, are we talking Rams or Kribs sized fish or Oscar sized? How large is your Cichlid tank and does it have a lot of hiding spots? I have a couple of Yoyo's (looking for a couple more) they are fast, hide well, and can be boisterous themselves at times, but I don't know how they would combine with Cichlids?
If any fish in the tank can fit the loach in it's mouth, now or if they will eventually get that large, that's where the loach will end up.
