what is the most active loach ??

[Bubble_B0y]

I read that yo-yo/pakistani loaches are not shy.
They don't hide and are very active (coming out during the day)

i've also read that dojo/weather loaches are very active too

can anyone confirm this ??

I really can't think of many loaches that are anything but extremely active...yoyos and dojos included.

My yo yos are all over the place! They are really fun to watch, but I probably wouldn't put them in a 20 H again just because they are so active. I got 2 of them for my snail problem in my 20 H, and they will be moving to a 30 long and getting a couple of buddies pretty soon. I would recommend at least a 20 long for this species.

when you say extremely active - do u mean like Cories ??

20 H ??
is that 20 hexagon tank ??


also what do they eat ?? are they fussy feeders?

 

[severum mama]

No, I meant 20 gallon high. They are not picky at all. They are scavengers like corys and will eat pretty much anything, including snails.

Yep, my YoYo and Angelique loaches are active all day and all night. I tell you they love to wiggle around in cracks in the driftwood more than anything.

I have yoyo's in my 29 and they never stop I swear. I also have clown loaches in my 125 and they don't quit moving. The clown loaches are more shy than the yoyo loaches but both are very entertaining.

they were $4.99 each.
I guess thats kinda cheap for a rare loach.

 

[Toirtis]

Sounds cheap for Aus, alright.
