I have a chance to buy 6 small clown loaches, all have the broken bar, but one has a spot on one side instead of a broken bar, will this stay or will it turn to a bar? Is the spot a sought ofter loach? I saw one on here in someones tank but cant remember who.
 
they are cool and the spots should stay
JD man has a few of them :grinyes:
 
I am not even close to a loach expert but do they look like this?

if so they will retain their patterns
 
Mine look like that but with only 2 bars and a spot. Those colors look more rich than mine though. The black on the loaches in the picture look like velvet. Nice and healthy looking. I need to try the black gravel in their tank.
 
We get 'broken-bar' or 'saddle-back' Clown Loaches in all the time at my work.. I was seriously considering investing in a large group to grow them out and hopefully breed them in a billion years.. Would be cool to have a breeding group of saddle-back clown loaches, so all the fry were similiar!

Does the black gravel/sand give them that definition to their colors? Those in the picture look about as good as anything I have seen. Mine are in a flourite colored substrate but I can change it to black sand.

Black sand (or any black substrate for that matter) makes most fish look better in my experience.
