hello everyone,im new to loaches and i wanted to learn about clown loaches and my LFS has 2-3" 1s and i wanted to get 1,i want to know what they eat,how big they get,minimum tank size,agression,tankmates

buy them in groups, reach about 8" takes some time tho, eat any leftover food that gets to the bottom, tankmates anything with compatible size really Ive seen them kept with sa/ca and African cichlids along with all types of communities

Check loach sticky threads for those questions. Ewurm and I worked on plenty of details for clowns so those stickies should be read if you want to learn everything about clowns.

BECAREFULL NOT TO GET ANY SNAIL. They love to eat snail. Try to get them in group of 4 or more.
