Some new yo-yo friends
A friend came over to watch the kidlets so that I could take some stuff to the second hand store (it is so difficult to deal with boxes, etc., while juggling little kids). Well, it just happened to be on the way to the LFS, so I hopped at the opportunity to stop and look at fish without being encumbered. After looking at what stock they had and being reasonably disgusted with the state of their tanks, I asked if they ever got in kuhli loaches, which I had never seen there. I had read on the forums that loaches eat snails, and as I have an ongoing snail problem I knew I would have to have some for my 29 gallon.
The answer, to my surprise, was yes, and the lady showed me where they were hiding. And then I saw they were with some yo-yo loach buddies, very cute, at only $1.59 a piece. Although I was dubious about the snail-eating capabilities of the kuhlis, I was sure the yo-yos would make those snails go away for good. I couldn’t resist, and I bought 3.
They are quite charming and they have quickly become my favorites. Now I really have to get moving on the 29 gallon so that they can have a proper home.
