Loaches Online Forum

Any Royal Clown loach keepers here?
I'm planning to get 2-3 pieces of Royal clown loach this weekend.
They'll be going into my 150 Gallon tank with my 22 inch arowana.
Would appreciate care tips
Also do thye have spikes like clown loaches ?
Also will they get along with clown loaches?

I don't keep them, but wonder if they should be kept with arowana due to the cool temperature preference of Royal Clowns (Leptobotia elongata).

Also, 150 gallons seems a bit on the small side for such enormous fish.

thanks I have a 300 and 350 Gallon tank
read that they do well in wide range of temperature?

Got 4 of them. Here's a picture of my smallest and biggest one

up up anybody has had imperial clown loaches?
So far i have not seen them since i bought them, they are just hiding in the PVC pipe i provided , also not sure if they are feeding
I just drop some small shrimps into the tank, but i have an arowana and a datnoid. so not sure if its them who's eating the shrimp.
any tips?

Maybe you should try feeding right before you turn the lights out and try to see if they are coming out at night.
