Clown loaches are beautiful fishes and playful ones too...mine will make funny sounds when I catch them in my net, out of water.
They are also quite prone to "ich" and white spots, so your water conditions must be good. Try three or four of them and see them play, else you can get tiger barbs or other fishes that resembles their colour. You will find that they like to socialize a lot.
For water, use soft to neutral, fine gravels, plants or give hidding places. You can use some of those water conditioners on the market like GEO Liquid and etc. Feed with any fish food that sinks, although sometimes they do come to the surface to eat. They'll eat any food readily.
All the best
Work Whenever, Fish Forever.
