Yo-yo Loach

[smithy05]

hi folks im trying to get hold of some YO-YO loach and wondered wot size group is recomened??? and would 2 b ok in a 22gal tank??? with 2/3 small corys

 

[The-Wolf]

as yoyos max out at 8"+ and they need to be in a group of
at least 3 your 22G is way too small for them.

roughly how fast do they grow??? cos if they really slow growers i can get a couple and than start saving me wages for an upgrade and than move em b4 they are to big or should i just wait til i have the bigger tank than get em???

or instead of them would the 22gal be big enuff for a few khulis??? or corys? i would one or the other ideally both but i havent the room i think

In good conditions, Botias grow to half size very quickly and then slow down. The last 10% of their size may take a year to develop.

My yo-yo's doubled their size in 6 months after purchasing. Usually it is not a good idea to buy fish in too small tanks, as the upgrading can delay for various reasons.

ok i changed mind on YO-YOs but would some khulis and corys be ok i have quite well planted tank and few hiding places for them...
