My Loach Is Really Aggresive

[DAMON91]

I bought a yoyo loach last year and he (or she!)is now fully grown.He is the largest fish in my tank but he keeps on chasing and attacking my danios.He has no problem with my pleco but a few months ago he killed one of my small danios who he had been fighting with.Most of the time he is all right though.Any advice on what to do with him ?
Thanks.

More set-up information, please.

Also loaches are schooling, so should be kept in groups of 6+. This could be the cause of your problem.

Your tank is (60L) way too small for YoYo Loach. It may definitely be something contributing to your Loach's aggressiveness. 4ft is minimum recommended

Agreed.

Lone loaches, especially clowns and yoyos, get pretty crazy.

Any ideas on what to do with him until i get my new tank?Forgot to mention my pleco is a tiger pleco he is about 6 inches

When is your new tank coming? If it were me I'd re-home him and your plec, any plec is too big for a 60ltr

my pleco is a fully grown tiger pleco and he is 6 in fully grown.Forgot to mention that i had 3 loaches and 2 died,only when they died did he start getting aggresive he was fine with 2 other loaches.He only seems to get aggresive after water changes which is what i meant by he is allright most of the time
