That is cool, never knew clowns liked cucumber. I do know most plecos love them. This is good to know though because I will definitely be getting a clown loach or two in the near future.
Mine love Zuccini. I have 9 of them in my 180, ranging from 2 1/2" - 4". I started putting in Zuccini when I bought my Plecos. It took about a week ar two, but now my Loaches are on it faster than the Plecos.

Really,
I was feeding my 6-7'' clown loach blood worms and they were eating them well, but I noticed latley they have slowed up. What is suppose to be the best food for them? I will try cucumber.
As far as I knew clown loaches were carnivores but maybe they are omnivores. The reason we put the cucumber in was to feed our plecos. Our loaches like high protien pellets and they are supposed to eat snails. I heard the yoyo loach does a better job on snails than the clown loach.
Whenever I drop zucchini in it immediatly turns black and orange while all my CLs swarm all over it, they don't seem to like cucumber or watermelon as much though.
