You're missing the point because you don't know the species being discussed. No clown loach, anywhere in the hobby, has been captive bred. They are being 'enduced' in small pockets but it is still highly experimental. You have a 100% definitely wild caught fish that lives in groups of dozens to hundreds of individuals in very warm water with tonnes of oxygen which is acidic by itself with fish that live in signifiantly cooler, alkaline water. It's not supposed to be done. That's not even considering the ones in the 20G which is so so so below the minimum tank size for even a 2" clown loach.
I haven't even gotten into the totally different diet and clown loaches like to eat more, slower vs frontosas meaning they can't get the right amount of food without stress. It's so wrong. Fish shouldn't fight over food if you're keeping the right mix.
