| Comments | Clown loaches are very social fish so it is best to keep them in
groups of three or more.
They are often considered to be shy, but if kept in the proper
conditions many aquarists find this not to be true. When clown loaches feel comfortable and are
kept with several others they will spend much of the day in the open swimming around the tank.
Make sure they have plenty of caves and hiding spaces so they can retreat when frightened.
Very vulnerable to Ich.
Great fish for snail removal.
