will they be ok together?

i picked up a tank from someone and inherited his two clown loaches. i was planning on getting another one or possibly two to give them some friends, but i was wondering if i could do two yo-yo loaches. will they shoal with them or just more clowns. i've heard that clowns will form groups with cories, so i was just wondering if that would work with yo-yos

How big is the tank?

Clowns and Yo yos will co-exist quite happily, but they won't 'shoal' with each other.With both being gregarious its better to get more of one species, but be warned Clown Loaches can reach upto 12" and need to be housed accordingly.

it's a 55 gallon. i'll probably just stick with getting one more clown. thanks for the info
