Pakistani Loach (Botia almorhae) – Yo Yo Loach
The Pakistani Loach, nicknamed "Yo Yo Loach" due to the dark "Y" and "O" shaped patterns on its silvery body, is an active, curious, and highly prized aquarium fish. Sociable and full of personality, it is excellent for enlivening the bottom of the tank while helping to control small invasions of planarians or snails.

Tips:
Keep in groups of 4 to 6 individuals minimum in an aquarium of 200 L or more. It likes to hide in caves, under roots, or in thick plants. Have a sand or rounded gravel substrate to avoid damaging its sensitive barbels. Very playful, it may sometimes "play dead" or hide for long periods. It accepts a varied diet: bottom tablets, worms, blanched vegetables, snails, and live or frozen food.
