The Clown Loach is a peaceful, long-lived, schooling fish native to the inland waters of Indonesia. Capable of growing to about 12" in length and living up to 25 years, these fish have been a very popular mainstay in the aquarium hobby for a very long time. Very active during the day and very adaptable to a wide range of water parameters, these fish are also highly beneficial in controlling runaway snail populations in the aquarium. A truly splendid addition to any community aquarium.
