Hi guys,


I got 4 yoyo loaches recentlt 3 months ago, and it seems that 3 of the 4 are pregnant so I have 1 male and 3 females which is great since usually with fish I always have reverse trios.:)

So, then most websites say that yoyo loaches(females) often get full of eggs/pregnant but hardly any are bred in home aquaria. I want to know if anybody has bred them or knows anything about them. I will get pics by Sunday. They are so active and in my community 72G angelfish planted tank. I am kind of hoping to have the babies stay alive, but I can't find any info on breeding on google. All websites are like not commonly bred in home aquaria. :D

Thanks
Ritap:)

Botia's lay thousands of very tiny eggs that actually absorb water and swell up after they're released from the female's body. The fry are also very tiny, and any eggs that do manage to hatch aren't likely to grow out before they get eaten.

oh, okay, so there is hardly any chance of survival?
What if I move them to a breeding tank?

thanks
