<p><strong>Aquarium Setup:<br />
</strong>The <a title="Clown Loach" href="http://www.thehomeaquarium.com/clown-loach/" target="_self">Clown Loach</a> loves lots of caves, holes and any other place that it can hide. The substrate should be fine textured as Loach&#8217;s poke around in the substrate with the barbels looking for food.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to include a lot of plants, but some are needed to provide hiding places. Clown Loaches don&#8217;t like bright lights so keep the tank dimly lit or provide floating plants for cover. <span id="more-31"></span></p>
<p><strong>Diet:</strong><br />
Several smaller meals fed throughout the day are the best&#8230;</p>]]></description>
