Remarks: Yo Yo Loaches are long, slender fish with a juvenile pattern of squiggles and dots that appears to create alternating "Y" and "O" patterns. This patterning will turn into striations and the body color will grow darker as the fish ages. These loaches are highly social so they will appreciate being in a group of 6 or more. Like other Botia species, they possess a sub-ocular spine on either side of the head that stick out when sparring or stressed.
