It is pretty near to impossible to breed clowns in captivity,
to my knowledge it has only ever been achieved once ???

Yeah I cant find anything on a successful breading of clown Loaches if that's what paulengland100 is on about ?

If yes as far as I know figuring out what sex they are is complicated to ! There is a mith that there is a caudal fin differences but apparently that is not entirely the case and the only commonly accepted difference between the two sexes is the females are fuller bodied and more rounded than the males.

Oh and if you pull of a successful breading of clown Loaches then let us know how you did it

welcome to the forum! its almost impossible to tell the difference between the sexes and as said before they dont breed in captivity...the most dominant fish is usually a female, unless you only have males lol, which is too hard to tell
