clown loach troubles

"Skinny" clown loaches should never be purchased--they invariably die.
Healthy clown loaches are robust, active, and do not "flash"--that is, rub themselves on rocks or ornaments trying to remove parasites.
I would not add anything to your tank until you are sure there is no disease present.
Solitary clown loaches in a tank will survive, it's just that their behavior is very much enhanced by company of their own kind.
And they will get large and need a big tank. Unfortunately, getting them to settle in and start growing up is the first (and major) hurdle with these fish in the home aquarium.

When you keep loaches, make sure you are in it for the long pull.
I have had my zebra loaches for over 12 years now.
They sure are nice, interesting fish to keep.
