dumb questions i guess

i like clown loaches(never had them but they look cool)

I was wondering what their temperament is, and do they getmore aggressive as they get older? a guy my lfs was telling me that Clown loaches get carnivouris when they get older and they nip the tails and fins of other fish.

Are these guys good bottom feeders/scavengers, do they get along with other bottom feeder?

I've had clowns for about a year now...it is a known fact that the more hiding spots you give a loach, the more playful and curious they get since they have several get aways or hide outs.

I have never had a problem with an aggressive loach..my loaches are getting along just fine with my community fish..no problems at all.

Great bottom dwellers as well, and come up to mid level on occasion.. Cool fish to have, and are schoolers as well.

This has been observed in the past usually when they are adult size and in breeding condition, I doubt you will ever see this problem in normal aquarium conditions.
