Yoyo Loaches Or 12 Bar Loaches?

[catfish101]

Hi
I'm kinda redoing a bunch of stuff in my 60 gallon(L48xW12xH24in) including turning it into a heavely planted tank and getting some new fish. The fish i am already getting are various rainbow fish (Main attraction), an angel, some clown plecos, some Siamese algae eaters, a golden Chinese algae eater and a rainbow shark. The problem is I can't decide between yoyo loaches or twelve bar loaches (was gonna get some clown loaches but decided agenst it as they will out grow the tank). Both are at my Lfs for reasonable prices. Is this decision just up to me or is there one that would go better in my tank.
Thanks,
Nate

Why do you want the gold chinese alfae eater? I heard they don't do well with brod bodied fish eating slime coats and all. And I like yoyo loaches,

my shark is a big softy he used to be in the 180 with some clowns and he likes playing with them( not biting or anything just back and fourth stuff but he would used to rest on the rocks with them lol he looked a bit odd and miss placed but oh well)

Think im gonna pick up 4 yoyo loaches today
