    I would suggest more than two yoyo loachesm they do better in groups of three to five, depending on the tank size of course. The loaches may eat some babies, but with endlers shooting them out at rapid speed I dont expect this to be a major problem.

    Is the tank tall, narrow like a 55 and not so wide? That is the shape of a 29. The thing that makes them jump out is how tall they are. They are like looking at a square when viewed from the front. They are almost as tall as they are wide and only 12 inches front to back.
