IMO, go with 4 - 5 Zebra, they stay small and do not dig as heavily into
gravel as Yoyo.

My 4 Zebra play well with other but the largest of the Yoyo (5") are kind of
nippy.

I returned from 2 weeks out of town to find what looks to be at least 100
snails in my tank and I've read all the postings about snails and loaches.
My tank is 29 gal high with small to med size gravel and has the
following:
lots of plants, 2 guppies, 4 platies, 1 marbled hatchet, 6 danios (3
zebra/3long-fins), and 5 peppered corys.
Everything is fine in the tank except for all the snails so I thought I'd
get some loaches to control them. I'm concerned about the substrate and
any
conflict between the corys and the loaches. I thought I'd try for 3 zebra
or
yoyo loaches. Anyone have any thoughts on this before I add them to the
tank? TIA
