    Review:
    I'd initially planned for 4 YoYo loaches in my tank to help prevent snail infestation, but annoyingly the first person I ordered from messed up said order and only sent me 2. Luckily I found this site and was able to grab a couple of extra loaches. They were delivered today and seem to be doing well. Initially they seemed a bit unsure of my original two loaches, being smaller than they were, and so stuck together. After a few hours however they've settled in, and feel safe enough to go on little trips by themselves and fraternise with the somewhat larger loaches I already had.

    I highly recommend this species if anyone has an issue with certain snails. Bladder and Ramshorn snails in their infant stage have no chance when these feisty little fellows are on the loose. They remind me of dogs, endlessly snuffling along and rummaging in the substrate, and chasing each other around for fun. They're a worthy addition to your aquarium just to watch their antics, but their cleanup work and snail murdering are invaluable.

    Judging by the service so far I will definitely be buying from The Trop Co again.
