Yoyo Loach
The Yoyo Loach, scientifically known as *Botia almorhae*, is a freshwater fish native to the rivers of South Asia, particularly in India and Bangladesh. It is recognized for its distinctive pattern of horizontal black stripes on a golden-brown body, resembling a yoyo, which gives it its name. This species typically grows to about 6 inches in length and is popular in the aquarium trade due to its active nature and striking appearance.
Yoyo Loaches are social creatures that thrive in groups, making them ideal for community tanks. They prefer well-planted aquariums with hiding spots and a sandy substrate. As bottom feeders, they help maintain tank cleanliness by scavenging for leftover food. Their diet consists of a mix of high-quality pellets, flakes, and occasional live or frozen foods.
