They will live for several years (and even decades) once established. They are slow growers but can reach a large size in time (up to 25 cm). However, they are seldom seen at this size. Clown loaches often sleep on their side, which makes them look like they are dead - but don't be alarmed, this is quite normal.
Clown Loaches love to eat snails and will control any snails that enter your tank through new plants or otherwise.
Clown Loaches make excellent tank mates to a wide variety of other aquarium fish, and their bright coloring and outgoing personalities make them one of the most popular aquarium loaches!
