Yoyo Loach has a lot of variations when it comes to their appearance. However, they all have a common profile. They have long and slender bodies and have certain unique features. For once, they have a conical-shaped body with a bit of snout. Since they are bottom-dwelling fish, their body shape makes it easier for them to rest on the sand.
The most striking feature of this fish is its mouth. Every fish has four pairs of barbels. These barbels protrude from their mouth and help them feel the ground.
