Extra Info
 They seem to prefer fine gravel (like the Silver gravel and Not the Volcanic) and do not like to be alone. For example you have a community tank where there are fish of all different types but you only have one Clown Loach in the whole tank. It will then become lonely which causes stress, which causes their health to drop. So always make sure the Clown Loach has at least one or two friends around. Unlike Red-Tailed Sharks who are very difficult to breed because they hate each other and will fight to the death, I don't know why the Clown Loach is so difficult to breed. Another thing, besides the fine gravel, they like lots of plants and accessories. This must be the only breeding fish who seems to like accessories because with everything else I have to take them out.
