Yoyo loaches really don't get too large (4-5" range). I've read they should be kept in groups of 3 or more, but I really don't know how accurate that is. They don't seem to need the company of others to feel secure in their environment as say, tetras would. I have two right now and they seem pretty content. I've also kept one solo in a 30 gallon before and he seemed fine. I know that seems like blasphemy to some , but from what I observed, he was more than okay with having the whole bottom to himself.

They're also pretty fun to watch rummaging around looking for snails.
