Breeding Loaches

I have 4 Yoyo loach and 1 is extremely fat at the moment. I suspect that she is full of eggs. As there is very little informatation about successfull breeding I was wondering if you have any useful info to help. I have a 200 litre tank housing 2 Clown loaches,2 Rainbow Shark,2 Angel fish,3 Gaurami, 1 Silverdollar,9 various tetra,2 Bristlenose catfish as well as the Yoyos. I also have a smaller 28 litre tank with 9 Mollies. Would it be better to move the Mollies into the bigger tank and put the loach into the small tank by herself? Once she lays the eggs should I remove her as well? I have had the tanks for almost 2 years and am still learning as I go. I hope you can help regards Sharon
