Yesterday I added 4 more yo yos to my tank. They seemed to get over the moving stress pretty quickly, but in turn they are tearing through the tank at top speeds. It is entertaining to watch, but the neons and bloodfins don't seem to care for this behavior. Should I be worried about my others getting stressed out? Also I know they eat snails, and I have 2 mystery snails that I thought would be too big for them to bother. Actually the snails are my wifes and she was getting worried because the yo yos were flipping them over. I am thinking I might have to get another tank set up for her snails lol.(blush)

You'll probably have to pick up a little 5 gallon now for your snail. I'd like some yoyo's myself but I'm afraid my featherfins wouldn't like them much.
As for the snails I would get them out ASAP.
With regards to the fish getting stressed, I don't think it should be to much of a bother.
Given time the Loaches will calm down and settle down to be nice fairly active fish like Corys.
Loaches tend to always get hyper when being shifted or things change a lot.
If you think the other fish might get to stress, just add a few more plants to the tank. Including caves.
