Yo-yo loaches and angels

[Jdmcfast]

Has anyone had luck keep these two together? My 2 yo-yo's won't leave angels or any other kind of fish for that matter alone!

From what I've read...yo yo's like groups of three or more and lots and lots of space....they can be snippy when confined or bored...yo yo's like faster water too....are you running a powerhead?
I guess reports are conflicting...folks with really good size tanks with good flow have no issues...those with smaller than 75gal somtimes have problems with angels and other fish...I'd say put them in the largest tank you have, with a small powerhead for flow...angels don't care for the fast flow much tho.....

How are the yo-yo loaches Doing? I was reading that The Yo Yo loach comes from still waters in India and Pakistan, and prefers warm, soft, acidic water.  they are generally peaceful  and get to be 3-5 inches.
I just got three of them I want them for snail control and they don't get as big as the clown loach. I got them in a Q.T. tank for now. There is a two Platies that live in the quarantine tank. If the Yo Yo's do ok with them I will put a angel in with them to see how they do.

Scott, did you find those locally???

[b125killer]

yep. I got them from Petco. I'm not a Fan of getting fish at the LFS But I figured I have a Q.T. tank now so I can take a chance with them.

There's a lady that works at the petco that I like. She might be one of the few aquatic specialist that seem to know what shes talking about.

I have a angel in with my yo-yo loaches so far nether seem to care about the other. I don't see much of the loaches just the empty snail shells tell me there still doing good.
