        They cleaned out all my small snails in my 20g planted...  they are happy and FAT...
        I love them absolutely... wish I knew how to breed them but everytime I check for how to ... I get no known way to breed them in captivity known.

          A lot of loaches are like that...unknown breeding or no document reports of in captivity...as for the thin one....either male or being robbed of food by the two fat ones.

            I thought that patern was know as  "YoYo"  ???
            'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
            He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

              It is a yoyo, zebras have vertical bands close together.

                Well thank you for the name update :)   I was told by Donnie at City Pets these where Zebra loaches and he sold them to me back a few months ago as Zebra Loaches.. .which is why I have named them Zebra... but now I know to call them Yoyo loaches..  (still wished I knew how to breed them because I have two females FULL right now)

                  Well Jesper, i cant find anything on breeding. But i did find this post that says a yoyo displaying the yoyo markings are juvenile.

                    Chris :)  I had read link before.. I have attempted to research how to breed them but I am coming to the conclusion I would have to setup some sort of shallow tank with a ton of shade and hiding holes for the male and females to interact.. maybe one day I will attempt it :)

                          I bought the Yoyo loaches (which where sold to me as Zebra Loaches) at City Pets.. I believe at the time they where about $3-4 a piece.. they where not every expensive.. now they have grown some since I bought them (like 1.25") and I now know I have two mature females and one male in my trio.
