I haven't got my main tank off the ground yet, so haven't got my clown loaches yet.. but was curious why CL's are classified as bottom dwellers.. basically, to what extent are they bottom dwellers? What percentage of time do they spend on the bottom?
Clown behavior--bottom dwellers?

Or if you have driftwood and the such. They'll spend time laying on driftwood near the middle strata of your tank.
They like to be in groups, the more the merrier! Plenty of places to hide in too.
Of course, if it's a new tank then don't get the whole lot straight off, build up numbers gradually. In fact, best to cycle the tank with a hardier species first, or even better, use a fishless cycling method.

Ive seen them come up off the bottom to rest higher on decorations they like...other than that, bottom most all the time except feeding.
