Not a creature was stirring until 20 seconds after the first food pellet hit the bottom.....

Two of the Yo Yo loaches apparently are different from the third one. The two stick together like glue and the other is an odd man out. The coloration is also different on the two - note how much lighter their markings are. They do get darker when excited but basically stay a lighter color. The larger of the two has a broader stomach area. The third Yo Yo is always the dark coloration and rarely associates with the others. I originally had the one clown loach as he was the only one left in the store and he and the third Yo Yo teamed up immediately.

Scent Wendie. They can pick up tiny concentrations, plus I think they get used to the sounds of food entering the tank.

They are pretty smart. I put an old almond leaf on top of the floating plants. There were about 8 snails on the leaf. I caught one of the Yo Yo's rechecking the leaf two days after I put it in there. He was half out of water but fully checking it out.
