What is the required temperature for the loaches, because a simple solution would be to run the water coming out of the well through a solar heater (no electricity) simply the water runs through a series of small black tubes that heats up the water and runs it directly into the tank or pond. The only setback would be in the evenings when the sun is gone. Then the water goes back to 72 deg gradually until morning.

An ideal temp range for maintaining clown loaches would be approx 80-85F. For breeding, a pH range of 5-6 would also be ideal. While the former may possibly be doable on a smaller scale, the latter may not prove to be quite as easy.

kinda expensive! I suggest you should buy a land in another country near its orgin or has the same weather that is if you have enough money and if you are really serious about it it will save you so much money becuase labor is cheap 40$-120$ a month and food is cheap and porbably you will earn so much money.
carp hormones apparently make them breed. Adding acid to the water to change the ph appears to have the same effect
It doesn't. But it's relatively warm, so it can be done outdoors, and undeveloped land is cheap.cjohll;3000376; said:
