Yoyo Loach (Botia almorhae)
The Yoyo Loach is an active and striking freshwater fish, known for its distinctive "Y"-shaped pattern on its body, resembling the design of a yoyo. This loach is an excellent choice for aquarium enthusiasts who enjoy unique, energetic fish. Yoyo Loaches are peaceful but can display some territorial behavior, especially in small tanks, so it’s best to keep them in larger setups or in groups. They are also effective scavengers, helping to clean up leftover food and debris from the substrate.
