The Pakistani Loach, also known as a Yoyo Loach, is a distinctive freshwater bottom-dweller that is popular in South African aquariums for its playful personality and unique "Yoyo" black and silver markings. Originating from the slow-moving waters of the Ganges basin in India, this species is an intelligent, active scavenger that thrives in groups and is excellent for controlling snail populations in a tropical freshwater environment.
