My african butterfly fish died today for completely unknown reasons. It just stopped eating, refused all food.

Because of this, and my lack of luck with the African Butterfly fish, I was looking into other "interesting" looking topdwellers.

I've punched my tank into that aquarium advisor calculator thing that isn't entirely accurate and can't be named on this forum now, and it's telling me that yoyo loaches are too aggressive to be kept with hatchets. My yoyos show very little aggression to anyone other than each other. I've never seen them show any sign of aggression against another fish besides to push my serpae tetras out of the way at feeding time.

Can Hatchetfish and Yoyo loaches be kept together successfully?
 
I think so, yes. I'm keeping Marbled Hatchets with an Elliot Cichlid and they're fine together. I doubt a Yoyo Loach would beat him on aggression.

Awesome! I do also have floating water lettuce in the tank to provide some cover for my top-dwellers, so I'm glad I can keep hatchets with the yoyo. I figured there wouldn't be an issue... but just needed to double check. :) I find that yoyo's stop being aggressive once they get over the 3 month growth spurt after being brought home from the shop.
