The Yoyo Loach is a lively and entertaining freshwater fish, named for the distinctive "YOYO" pattern along its silver body. Highly active and social, they do best when kept in groups of 5 or more, where their playful behaviour can be fully appreciated.
Yoyo Loaches thrive in well-planted aquariums with driftwood, rocks, caves, and plenty of hiding places. They prefer soft to moderately hard water with a pH of 6.5–7.5 and are excellent scavengers, helping to clean up leftover food while also being well known for controlling pest snail populations.
As omnivores, they readily accept sinking pellets, algae wafers, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and other quality foods. Regular water changes and good filtration will help keep these active fish healthy and displaying their best colours.
Don't forget to check out our plants for combined postage and to keep the fish happy in transit!

Super Safe Postage
All parcels will have the "super safe express" postage option. It is optional, but if selected, we will go above and beyond with extra features to make sure your fish arrive safe.
These extra features (Thicker large parcels, larger and more bags, heating, extra insulation and water for each fish etc...) are expensive and not necessary for most parcels,
so we have made it optional for those who want to take the extra care. For rural locations or just if you want to make sure your fish will be extra safe it is recommended. All postage options still have the DOA guarantee however.
