Variants:

An adult Botia Almorhae and a juvenile can look very different. A healthy adult displays reticulated markings (not the usual YOYO but more a jumbled pattern of lines and swirls. This is why this species is sometimes called a Reticulated Loach.

Comments:

The yoyo loach gets its name from the markings on its sides, which in some specimens spells out the word yoyo. A great fish for a small community aquarium. Best kept in groups of 3+ as the yoyo loach is a gregarious fish and enjoys the company of its own kind. Thanks to Aaron Schutter for submitting this profile. May be slightly more active at night but they often adjust to daytime feedings and become very active with the lights on.
