Also, clown loaches get large, so people considering them should take this
into consideration.

Agreed. There are smaller loaches that are just as attractive, just as good at
eating snails, and have just as much personality. Yoyo loaches, for example.
Unlike clowns, they stay small. And they don't eat plants or dig up your
carefully planted Lilaeopsis lawn...

Another nice botia that stays small is Botia striata. IME it's a bit shy
compared to the yoyos and it does dig up small plants in fluorite.

I almost bought some of those. There were some in the tank with the yoyos, and
fish store guy couldn't tell the difference. I thought about buying them, too,
but I wasn't sure how aggressive they were. Not all loaches are as charming as
clowns and yoyos. Skunk botias are nasty...
