How to Keep a Crown Loach
Crown Loaches can be an easy breed to keep. The lifespan of the crown loach is approximately 10 to 20 years. Their body size is approximately 10 to 30 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water, with a pH range of 5.0 to 8.0. Since the clown loach is classified as a tropical fish, it requires a heater in winter if kept in Japan.Crown Loaches are also known as "sleeping fish," and normal fish often sleep while swimming or in a swimming position. However, when a clown loach sleeps, it does so lying down on the bottom of an aquarium or other container. Most people who see them without knowing them would mistake them for dead. The evidence of this is that their gills are still moving, so you can rest assured that they are safe. In addition, they may pretend to be dead when startled, so you can rest assured that they are safe in that case as well.

Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
First of all, the character of the crown loach is timid. Therefore, if the breed with which they are mixed is territorial or aggressive, the clown loach may be attacked, resulting in injury or even illness due to stress. However, as they grow older, they become more feisty and will often fight with other fish of the same species or with other fish.In order to prevent this, it is important to avoid increasing the number of crown roaches in the lower areas of the aquarium where they primarily live. For example, when adding corydoras or plecos, be careful of their size. If the size of the clown loach is larger than that of the corydoras, it is best to avoid mixing them. On the other hand, if the pleco is larger, it is possible to mix them. Size is important because clown loaches are not likely to fight with larger individuals. If you do decide to mix them, be sure to include a species that does not use the lower levels of the aquarium as a base of operations.
