The clown loach is another favourite of tropical fishkeepers the world over. They are more peaceful than many of the loaches, meaning that they can be kept in a community situation. They can grow large and so this should be taken into account when deciding to own one. They can also live for a long time if cared for properly.

They prefer an aquarium with soft water, bog wood and plenty of hiding places.
