I don't think the Clown Loaches will last very long but...they will
hide in anything eg filter inlet pipes, fine gravel...anywhere...I
have had them reappear after several weeks

When you say they won't last long, exactly what do you mean?

Thanks,

You have several types of fish that might pick on them, or even eat them if
they are small enough. The loaches do have spines on the sides of their
heads for self-defense, but it's still doubtful they will survive with all
the agressive fish in the tank.

I wish the news were better;
