yoyo loach behavior

[fickle]

i was studying my loach today and he acts like he is cleaning the bigger fish in my tank like if he is eatin stuff off thier bodies has anyone else ever see behavior like this

Is he just swimming beside them? Are there any injuries to suggest that he's actually biting them? I've seen both my clowns and yoyos do that (swimming next to other fish very close), but they just seem to be playing. They never look like they're trying to bite the fish, and I haven't seen any injuries.

I've seen my yoyo loach do that. The only thing that worries me is that they are known for eating the eyes of other fish.

Are they really eye eaters? Mine chase each other around, they chase the angelicus too. The only time they mess with the clowns is to run them away from their hide spots. Anyone else have problems with them eating eyes?

I have one yoyo. I read about the eye eating thing online. After this i got a yoyo but, I got him small so he would be kind of intimidated by the other bigger fish. My theory seems to be true so far.

my yoyos wouldnt even consider looking into the eyes of there tankmates lol. but they do love to play with each other and they do a good job cleaning up anything uneaten.
