Picked these guys up to add to my pack of loaches -
4 Clowns - About 4-5" each, one in the back is quite large and tall
1 Yoyo - about 4-5" , biggest yoyo I have ever seen, the color change is remarkable at this size.

Nice looking specimens!
Which tank is your Botia almorhae going into? (close observations will be needed either way)

He is currently in a holding tank w.
1 Other smaller Yoyo
8 Striata
3 Kubotai
5 Schistura Manherti
6 Dario
40+ clown loaches
Rainbow Fish , Tiger Barbs, SAE, Bristlenoses
All the loaches are waiting to be moved to the 400G I am currently setting up.
I had always thought that yoyo's were relatively peaceful fish, what should I be looking out for?

As you may know with many species of fish, your mileage may vary but it is always best to be on the cautious side when some species have been highlighted with aggressive/boisterous attitudes. You may find them no problem in your 400g but it is always best to be aware of these matters. BTW, 400g
Very Impressive!

Once they are over to the 400, I will upping the number of yoyos to 6 or 10, I am a firm practicer of keeping loaches in numbers.

a lovely find
the yoyos are fantastic at that sort of size - just watch for the fighting when you introduce them. i rehomed 2 that are inseperable, but they can be very grumpy when you only have a few.
