Did my loach kill the other loaches?

Correct. I keep yoyos and clowns together and have not lost a single one.


It's ironic when yoyos are really something recommended for beginners considering they are very easy to keep and are not at the very least fussy with water conditions.

I'd search everything thoroughly for signs of life. Another ironic thing is yoyos really are not nocturnal fish. Even when kept singly, they have the tendency to show up quite often compared to other species.

That shows how little I really know about specific loaches:lipssealedsmilie: Thanks for stepping in Lup.

I would still test the tank as a precaution, no need to lose other fish. Hopefully just bad luck and bad timing with the new additions.

I have had my loaches swim up the gravel vac, had to stop, fix the other end of the pipe to a tap and follow the loach back into the tank! are you sure they did not go missing after a WC?

The loaches can squeeze themselves into tiny spaces, below rocks, or other places. did you move the decorations in the tank, you may have accidentally buried the loaches when you did this.

FYI

FYI - moved and cleaned the tank out - never found the loaches.
