Description
The Clown Loach scavengers the bottom of the aquarium looking for leftover food. They can be semi aggressive towards other fish, but multiple loaches can be added to one aquarium. Their adult size is larger than the cory cat, so be sure the aquarium is large enough. The Clown Loach is considered a "scale-less fish," which means they can be more susceptible to diseases like Ich. Provide an environment with lots of caves and hiding places for this loach to sleep in. They should be fed a variety of meaty food to supplement their scavengering behavior.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
