Whatever gave you the idea of keeping such radically different sizes together? When I had XXLG sized clowns, I regularly fed them feeders, bait minnows/shiners, live crayfish, whole earthworms, etc. They would have no problem at all downing small clown loaches. Separate out the small ones before you lose any more (especially that cool broken-banded one).

Does not surprise me either. I have a 7" clown that eats a complete 3" soft-shelled clam overnight. When I drop it in the tank at night it's closed tight, by morning it's opened and cleaned out...nothing left in the shell. So that tells you what they can do to a baby clown...
