I just got a good view of one of my Yoyos and I believe she's pregnant! I missed the picture opportunity, but I'll keep trying. I can't find anything about them breeding online and need advice! Should I try to remove her? Are they egg layers? Mat or gravel? What should I do?! Any advice appreciated!!

:nilly:
 
Loaches are egg layers. HN, a lot of us including myself have yoyo loaches that are gravid. Unfortunately, despite that, none of us have managed to get them to spawn. Either the males are not fertilizing them properly or they're only dropping the eggs. I believe this is what the Loaches Online moderators told us after raising skeptics on the possibility that yoyos can breed successfully in the tank.

Thans Lupin! Not sure if I'm relieved or bummed, but I do appreciate the response. With cories in the tank, I doubt any eggs would make it even IF fertilized and if one or two snuck by them, I'm sure the fry would be eaten. Basically, I should just leave them be huh?
