yoyo loach questions

[customdrum]

i got a yoyo loach on raok and out him in the angeltank/brass tetra tank. hes chasing everyone so i need more yoyos to go with him. im getting rid of the angels this weekend so no worry about them driving them nuts after monday lol.

does anyone have a yoyo with other loaches?
this guy is about 3.5" long and here if i put 1" yoyos with him he will chase them and maybe kill them from stress.

i can get other loaches here but yoyo arent here to get for a few weeks.
so i need to know if i get some other loaches will be better or do i need to stick with yoyos and not others.

You really need more yoyo loaches, other species just aren't the same. They're always in stock at my lfs, and usually larger than 1". I could ship you some...

Mine are with my clowns. I wouldn't keep one only. 5 is the minimum. I have 18 of them though.

There is no guarantee that adding more will fix the problem. I started with 4 yoyos in a 45 gal with other fish, including dd black angels being grown out to produce a pair. The yoyos began harassing the angels all the time and I was finally forced to sell them to fix the problem.

What they would do is swim alongside an angel and poke it around the gil plate. The angels would try to swim away but the yoyos would just keep on harassing from one end of the tank to the the other.

1" yoyos wont help any ive been told, this male is about 3.5" long and ive been told 1" will get chased to death by the larger one.

It would depend the actual temperment of your individual twards other yoyos. And also on how meny more you were to get. If you got say 10 more, if the chasing where to continue it could be so divided that you may be able to get away with it. At 3.5 he/she is still kinda smallish you probally could find some simillar to that size, if you look around.
