About the Clown Loach

Name: Clown Loach

Max Size: Up to 12 inches (30 cm)

Recommend pH: 6.0-7.5

Recommended Temperature (Β°F): 75-86Β°F (24-30Β°C)

Diet: Clown Loaches are omnivorous and have a varied diet. They will readily accept high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, and frozen foods. They also enjoy live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia, and small crustaceans. It's important to include vegetable matter in their diet, such as spirulina-based flakes or blanched vegetables.

Temperament: Peaceful

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Schooling Fish (Clown Loaches are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals to create a natural social structure and minimize stress.)

Possible types of tank mates: Clown Loaches are generally peaceful and can be kept with a variety of community fish. They are compatible with other peaceful species such as tetras, rasboras, gouramis, and peaceful catfish. Avoid keeping them with aggressive or fin-nipping fish, as their long, delicate fins may be targets.

Behavior: Clown Loaches are fascinating and active fish that bring liveliness to the aquarium. They have distinctive coloration with alternating black and orange stripes, giving them a playful and clown-like appearance. They are known for their playful and social behavior, often engaging in playful chasing, rolling, and digging in the substrate. Clown Loaches are bottom-dwelling fish that enjoy exploring and hiding in caves, driftwood, or other sheltered areas. They are peaceful towards other tank mates but may display occasional squabbles within their group hierarchy. It's interesting to observe their social interactions and their playful nature.

Fun Fact: Clown Loaches, also known as Chromobotia macracanthus, are native to the river systems of Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia. They are popular in the aquarium trade due to their attractive appearance and entertaining behavior. Clown Loaches are known for their ability to produce audible clicking sounds, especially when excited or during feeding. These sounds are created by grinding their pharyngeal teeth together, and it is believed to be a form of communication among individuals. Their playful nature and interesting vocalizations make them a favorite among fish enthusiasts.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
