    The Pakistani Loach (Botia almorhae), also called the Yo-Yo Loach, is a lively, sociable bottom-dweller from rivers of India, Pakistan, and Nepal. Named for the “Y-O-Y-O” pattern that develops on adults, these active fish are entertaining community members and highly effective at controlling unwanted snail populations.

    pH 6.0–8.0
    Hardness 3–12 dGH
    Min. Tank Size 120 L (30 gal) for a group of 4–5
    Care Level Beginner to Intermediate
    Temperament Active / Playful (boisterous; not ideal with slow or delicate fish)
    Diet Omnivore — sinking pellets, bloodworms, frozen foods, blanched vegetables. Natural snail controller.
    Compatibility Medium community fish — Barbs, Danios, Tetras, robust Corydoras. Avoid delicate or slow fish.

    Keep in groups of 4–5 minimum. Provide caves, driftwood, and hiding spots — nocturnal and enjoy tight spaces. Fine sand substrate protects their sensitive barbels. Weekly 25% water changes. Can make audible clicking sounds at the surface — completely normal. Reach 10–15 cm.
