Clown loaches will make a clicking noise using their little teeth typically when they are happy or content; it's most commonly heard during feeding time.
Clown loaches are orange with thick black stripes.
clown loaches lay eggs.
There is no sexual dimorphism in Clown Loaches. They are also very hard to breed. It seems they breed in large frenzied groups and only when they are fully grown. That is about 12 inches long.
Coolie loaches are nocturnal so they are most active at night. Having multiple loaches will make them more playful.-Melchisedek
Clown loaches are carnivores and only eat vegetables to complement their diet. It is therefore recommended that they are given food that reflects this. To get your clown loaches to grow, optimal feeding 3-5 times a day is recommended. (They still grow slowly). Their diet should contain a variety of foods, and can include almost any carnivorous food. A good base may be shrimps, different sinking wafers, different frozen foods, and as they grow older, fish slices. Clown loaches can make a clicking sound, and they will do this when they are content. Therefore you will soon find out what is your loaches' favourite food by them clicking when they receive it. Like most other fish, clown loaches might need some time to accept new foods, however once they do it might become a favourite. Clown loaches are one of the few fishes that eat and like snails, and can therefore be of good use in snail control.
The same way as any other fish. They use their mouths and swallow.
