I read somewhere that for loaches you got to keep them in at least 3s before they are any good at eating snails
Any truth is that? Cause I only got 2 of them
if you get horseface, one is enough hor.

Somone should start a snail killer fish rental service...make like mad
Do the yoyo grow very big?Originally Posted by sheng
i dont know,may be u can do a check online
i got them a few years back when they are slightly over 1". Now they are almost 4"Originally Posted by anaconda
ive seen yoyo's up to 7inch SL, the chain loach i once saw at chester zoo must have been over 3 inches SL.
out of the two fish i prefer to keep yoyo's less aggressive towards the other tank-mates.

Gotta admit chain loach are bloody cute fishes the way they zap all around the tank
But my increasing shrimp bodycounts and no decrease in snail count is worrying
Guess my hunt for snail killer continues
i was told they are also fin nippers ... anyone can confirm?
they are joe, they also go for the gills when other fish are eating suppose to get some bits that fly through the gills, but it looks like they are attacking the fish.
mick
alrite no chain loaches for me tank
... always look at the bright side of life
joe, have you tried botia dario they are most inoffensive for mixed tanks?.
mick
I have a few Botia dario. personally, i feel that they are generally docile though sometimes inquisitive enough to nip at others.
lemme go ransack the local fish shops again heheheeeOriginally Posted by mickthefish
