Tank Size / Numbers

[Sh899y]

I've read contradicting information on YoYo loach tank size. Out of interest what is the general consensus on here for minimum tank size and recommended numbers?

I've read people suggesting 40 gallon is big enough, others saying 75 gallon minimum.

Then read 6 is an ideal minimum, 5 at a push with some people keeping 3.

A bit confused.

This site is a really good reference source.

Form this website, it says 4 YoYo Loaches in a 70 gal tank. Here is the link.

As long as you have more than 1 it's ok, but 6 is ideal. A 40 gallon is big enough for 6 too

I have 2 full grown (6") Yoyo loaches in a 55 gallon tank right now with another 4 growing out to be added. I orginially had 3 but one passed awhile ago and the two have been fine together if a bit one sided. The female is very dominate and I hope to give him a break with the new groups. I frequently feel that the 55 gallon is too small for their play and that when I have a full 6 in the tank it will stress out the other fish. I could not imagine a 40 gallon holding even the two adults I have much less 6, the fish is too active.
