If they are breedable, what conditions of water, tank design, and diet would they need? I wouldn't mind one day throwing a bunch of full grown adults (that is, after my 4-5" ones are full size LOL) into a indoor pond or something.

I believe they are all wild caught.
 
i have only heard of wild caught
 
I've heard you can breed them it is just really hard. They are all not wild caught anymore, can't be because I see them everywhere and they are tiny. Almost every lfs in the US has them.
 
Some have been bred by hormone injection. It has been done already.

There is one report about clown loaches spawning by Granville Hammond however he never showed photos to prove that they actually did as far as I can remember. The other is by Colin Dunlop of Scotland. Do a search on the internet and you will find numerous articles of his clown loaches which attempted to spawn but failed after he prematurely retrieved the eggs. Water parameters have been included in his database.
