In my 26 gallon tank, I have a yoyo loach that continuously swims around in circles right next to the glass.I'm starting to get a little worried.Is he just bored(he's been in that tank for 2 years now) or could it be some sort of disease?

If you could give us a little more information it would help.
What else is in the 29?
What are your water parameters...pH, temp, nitrate/nitrite, any ammonia?
What kind of filtration?
any signs of anything wrong with any of the other fish?
and any further observations would be good...

he might be lonely. i had one that was a bit strange untill i got a couple more. most people here would reccommend having at least 5 in a group.
