Keep a steady temp in the tank and acclimate them correctly.

Clown loaches are schooling fish, so they need heck of a lot space too when they grow up. What size is your tanks?Poor guys, sorry for the loss!

well clown loaches are the worse to cure when they have ich because they have different scales than other fish and harder to treat, and always check the fish that you get before you take them home because if they had ich and died the next morning at the lfs they most of been showing signs of ich so always check your fish before you buy them!
