Chromobotia macracanthus

Clown Loaches are known for their vibrant colors and active nature. They are bottom dwellers and enjoy hiding spots, so providing multiple caves and dense vegetation is recommended. These fish are also social and prefer to live in groups of five or more to prevent stress and promote natural behaviors. Clown Loaches are known to be long-lived, with some individuals exceeding two decades in hobbyist care if maintained under optimal conditions. Regular water changes and a varied diet will support their health and coloration.
