YO-YO LOACH

The Yoyo Loach (Botia lohachata), also known as the Lohachata Loach, is a lively and attractive freshwater fish native to South Asia. Known for its unique markings and playful behavior, the Yoyo Loach is a popular choice for community aquariums. Here’s a comprehensive guide to caring for Yoyo Loaches: Tank Size and Setup Tank Size: A minimum of 30 gallons is recommended for a small group of Yoyo Loaches. Larger tanks (50 gallons or more) are preferable to provide ample swimming space and to help maintain stable water conditions. Aquascape: Yoyo Loaches appreciate a well-structured tank with plenty of hiding spots and places to explore. Use rocks, driftwood, and PVC pipes to create hiding places. A tank with a mix of open swimming areas and shaded spots is ideal. Substrate: Use a soft, smooth substrate like sand or fine gravel. Avoid sharp or rough substrates that could injure their sensitive undersides. Plants: Include hardy, low-light plants such as Java fern, Anubias, or Cryptoc
