How long has the tank been setup? How often do you do water changes? Do you check the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates? If so, what are the latest readings?

Can you describe the other loach?

We need a tad more information to help you.

well the loach looks like a clown loach but shorter and whith tiger stripes and ive had the tank up for 2 weeks

too many fish in too small a tank too fast.
You need to be checking the ammonia and nitrite levels and tell us what they are.
If the fish are not stressed out now they will be shortly unless you did a fishless cycle on that tank. Give us more info!!
