🐟 Clown Loach Chromobotia macracanthus
Schooling Fish • Snail Eater • Peaceful Community
 
📋 The Clown Loach is one of the most popular and recognizable freshwater aquarium fish. With its bright orange body, bold black bands, and active schooling behavior, it adds constant movement and personality to large aquariums.
These fish are social and must be kept in groups of at least 5 individuals. They thrive in large, well-decorated aquariums with plenty of hiding places such as driftwood, caves, or plants. Although generally peaceful, their size and activity level make them unsuitable for small aquariums.
