Are Pakistani YoYo loach aggressive?
Are Pakistani YoYo loach aggressive?
YoYo loaches are not generally aggressive towards other species, but may fight amongst themselves. Keeping a group of 5 or more will generally lower the potential for harm.
The yoyo loach, Almora loach or Pakistani loach is a freshwater fish belonging to the loach family Botiidae. It originates in the slow-running and still waters of the Ganges basin in northern India and possibly Nepal. Despite the alternative common name Pakistani loach, the true B. almorhae is not actually native to Pakistan.

I’ve had a single Yo Yo Loach for about two years now. When I got him I didn’t know they should be in schools. He has been chasing my other fish a lot lately and I’m not sure what to do. I hate for the other fish to be stressed. I could move him to another tank but he would be alone and I’m not sure if that is good either. I can’t tell if he is being mean or is just playing. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

I believe yoyo loaches are aggressive . I’ve seen it nip at other fish and just bother other fish. because of them I have no shrimp. They keep nipping at other fishes tails and these fish are then dying from stress or bit up
