What is the minimum size tank you could keep two adult Yoyo Loaches (aka Pakistani Loaches) in?
Right now I have two young Yoyo Loaches and I didn't think I'd get so attached to them! Seems like I'll have to buy a new tank once they get too big.
I would add 5 more yoyos and house them in an 30 gallon aquarium at minimum .

A minimum of 3 with loaches and 5 is better. They get to about 6 inches so a 3ft tank minimum.

i have 3 living with the rest of my sig and they're the happiest fish in the tank.
they dont bother anyone and no one bothers them. i know what you mean about getting attached to them ;)
also im almost positive they only get to 4 inches. I've seen alot of people say 3in. , but most say 4 and I have only heard of a few people saying 5 in.
i might be wrong but im willing to back myself on this one
