well i have more than one loach in bigger tank but since i just got him hes in my 20 gallon tank with my 2 mollys, 2 plattys right now since i just got him from the store but my plattys and mollys i think they cant get ich again because they did and i treted them and now they havent got it. so thats why i put him in there.

1 question though what is the best food, well what do you feed your loaches as a "snack" and are they from the wild since they have never been tank bread?

From the article that I asked you to read is below. There are quite a few clown loaches that are tank raised and shipped to the US.

Feeding: Defrosted frozen bloodworms, white mosquito larvae, brine shrimp, etc; chopped prawns are appreciated by larger fish; manufactured sinking wafers (algae, carnivore wafers...), fresh or blanched vegetables such as cucumber, zuchinni, lightly boiled peas. Other keepers have had success with foods such as watermelon and banana, quality flake food. Will enjoy nibbling at soft or fine leaved aquatic plants.

Water parameters: pH 6.5 - 7.0, Hardness: aim for softer water, Maximum DH: 12

Temperature: 78ºF to 83ºF (25-30°C)

Breeding: No confirmation of natural breeding in the aquarium. Some forced reproduction through the use of hormones on fish farms in the tropics is rumoured. It is known that they are raised by such methods in the Czech Republic.
