Aquatic Passion

Photo of the Month Winner! Congratulations to BrownEyedGirl for this cool photo of a Yo-Yo Loach Botia almorhae "This is a photo of my adopted female YoYo Loach, residing in my 38 gallon planted tank. She is always laying on a stone that sits just inside her cave, so she can peek out. If you can't see her swimming, you know where to find her."
