They do that a lot. They are happy, they are feeding and they are saying hello. Its all normal behavior for a clown. I have 5 myself that stare at me but, when I turn arround from my desk they run for cover and then pop out with the feed me wiggles!

SOUNDS COOL

Very normal, mine do it when feeding. From my 2"er to my 5"er they all click. Good on the stock list too. I would add more! I at one time had 24-25 loachs between 4.5"-8" in a 180gallon and was still looking for more

Mine click when eating as well. The question about more...
Of course more.

my yoyo loaches click all night

I don't believe the purpose has been scientifically shown, but it is definitely normal

I think they produce the clicking sound when they're trying to bite something with a lot of force. Mines do it all the time during feeding time since what I feed them aren't always bite size. Occasionally they would also click when a few them are fighting.

Mine mainly do it when they are feeding on larger things like zucchini or shrimp. I also hear them doing it sometimes when the lights are out and they are playing.
