Clown loaches are all wild caught. The odds are good they have parasites and/or worms. If its ich you will see that plainly.
Not all. It has been noted that ClownLoaches that are born in captivity are more hardy than their wild parents.
Searching for the site I read that in. Think it was LoachesOnline.
Update
UPDATE, none dead so far!! Have moved them to a 20 gal long with some driftwood for cover. Their color is MUCH better. They are more active and eating more too. 
OMG what do I do with 9 Clown Loaches, plus the 6 I already have!?! I know it has only been 24 hours or so, but I fully expected to find one or two dead this morning. Instead I am greeted with a hungry "Loach ball" when I did their morning feeding.
BTW some of them are missing almost all of their Wiskers around thier mouth. Will they grow them back?

Great to hear! The barbels should grow back, but I don't have an experience with my clowns losing theirs so I'm not 100%, but I don't see why they wouldn't.
Thats a good price! Where is this? At petco a 3" clown loach would run about $14 or so.
Most clown loaches are wild caught as this is the cheaper option, however hormone induced breeding is possible.
