If you've ever laid eyes on a school of clown loaches, it's quite tempting to add a couple of these charming fish to your aquarium. It's astonishing to think that in Indonesia and Borneo, where these beautiful creatures grow over a foot in length, they are consumed as food fish. Thankfully, within the aquarium enthusiast community, the clown loach is cherished as a mainstay in community tanks rather than ending up on dining tables. Its vibrant orange and black stripes, complemented by red fins and lively behavior, have elevated its status as one of the most sought-after loaches.
Widely appreciated among freshwater hobbyists, the clown loach is a peaceful species that harmoniously coexists with nearly any tankmate. Its active daytime behavior makes it an entertaining fish to observe and feed. Notably, it contributes to aquarium maintenance by consuming bothersome snails. Although sometimes referred to as a scaleless fish, it does possess small scales embedded in its skin
