The Clowns may eat some fry but the other Malawi's would probably beat them to it anyway so i'm not sure that's likely to be a major issue.

Also have a look at this thread on keeping CL's with Malawi's:

What are your water parameters? Loaches live in soft, slightly acidic water.

Loaches will eat eggs, but I haven't heard of any people saying that they have trouble with them eating fry. Their mouths aren't really setup for eating freely swimming fish.
