What don't they eat... Staples are mussels, shrimp, red worms, zuch's, small guppies/rosies, hikari massivore, HBH super cichlid sinkers, HBH African cichlid formula,HBH veggie wafers........they are fed in the morning and before lights out at night.

Oh I forgot to add I change 50% of their water twice a week. Water is pretreated , filtered (w/purigen) and heated before being placed into tank.

Wish I could get pics of my yo yo's and red tailed botias they are as chubby as my CL's ........

You have some great oddball CL's in there. You should be ashamed of yourself for not posting these in the Loach media lounge, though! The Loach section is like the red-headed stepchild of MFK, but we're keeping the faith. Do you have any Botia Kobutai (PolkaDot loach)? They make great shoaling partners with my YoYo's & get them out a lot more. The CL's I think are just too different & beefier than Yoyo's & they dont really join their shoal.

Botia Kobutai are on my list however hard to find in my area and my quarantine tank is down currently..would love to see pics of yours!

No promises. I've never posted a pic on MFK, but I'll see what I can do. Their pattern changes with size, so do you want to see the juvie pattern or the adults?

Edit: If you're in TX, I can recommend some shops in Dallas & Houston.
