About the Yoyo Loach

Name: Yoyo Loach

Max Size: Yoyo Loaches can reach a maximum size of about 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) in length.

Recommend pH: 6.5-7.5

Recommended Temperature (Β°F): 75-82Β°F (24-28Β°C)

Diet: Yoyo Loaches are omnivorous and have a versatile diet. They primarily feed on small invertebrates, insect larvae, algae, and plant matter in the wild. In the aquarium, they readily accept a variety of foods including high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, freeze-dried or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and vegetable-based foods such as blanched spinach or zucchini. A balanced diet that includes both animal and plant-based foods is ideal for their overall health.

Temperament: Yoyo Loaches are generally peaceful and have a lively and active temperament. They are known for their playful and sometimes boisterous behavior. They may exhibit occasional territorial disputes among themselves, but aggression is usually limited to minor squabbles. Yoyo Loaches are compatible with a wide range of peaceful community fish.

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Yoyo Loaches are shoaling fish and thrive when kept in groups of six or more individuals. Keeping them in a larger group provides a sense of security and encourages natural behavior. They will swim together, explore the aquarium, and even engage in playful chasing.

Possible types of tank mates: Yoyo Loaches are compatible with a variety of peaceful community fish that can tolerate their active nature. Good tank mates include other similarly sized loach species, peaceful tetras, rasboras, danios, and corydoras catfish. Avoid keeping them with very slow-moving or long-finned fish that may be stressed by their active behavior.

Behavior: Yoyo Loaches are known for their playful and active behavior. They are excellent algae eaters and will often explore the aquarium in search of food. They are also skilled at scavenging the substrate in search of small invertebrates. Yoyo Loaches appreciate a well-decorated aquarium with hiding places like caves, driftwood, and plants. They may occasionally dig in the substrate, so using smooth gravel or sand is recommended.

Fun Fact: Yoyo Loaches get their name from the distinctive "Y" or "yo-yo" pattern on their bodies. This pattern consists of alternating dark and light bands, which create an eye-catching and unique appearance. Additionally, Yoyo Loaches have a fascinating ability to change coloration depending on their mood or environment. They can darken or lighten their color, adding an element of intrigue to their already captivating appearance.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
