Yoyo Loach
Yoyo Loaches are energetic, social bottom-dwellers known for their bold silver-and-black patterning that often resembles the letters "Y-O-Y-O." They’re highly active, especially in groups, and are excellent snail hunters. These loaches thrive in aquariums with plenty of hiding spots, soft substrate, and stable water conditions.
