Not sure. Do you have plenty of hiding spots and some plants? Also, they do like to be in groups, too. A yoyo friend may help matters.

Agreed. If he hasn't got places to hide, that's the problem. If he has got places to hide, he'll settle down after a while (might take couple weeks before he settles in fully). More yoyos should help matters, not to mention have positive influence on the fish's longterm well-being.

hello well i turned off the lights 2hours ago and it seems like hes calmed down hes just cruzing around *Mid* mostly of the tank and sniffing around the plants and looks like hes eating the algae comming off my Vallisneria :) yay!

hope its normal behaviour for a yoyo loach to be around mid of the tank *gulp*
