Knifes get large and the Discus require REALLY clean water, but should be fine if proper water care is administered. Use Bio-Chem Zorb or Chemi Pure to help retain crystal clearness. Knife would be the only concern as, a) they get larger and b) they most often need to be fed live feeder fish which will diminish water quality.

What do clown loach eat?

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.
