Clown loach help

[RobbieM]

I am on my 3rd pair of cl due to teething problems which now have white spot. My 1st pair died of a Nitrite spike (lost all my fish), my second pair died of white spot.

Are cl's prone to white spot or somthing? all 3 pairs had it but the first pair came through it ok before the nitrite spike.
Somone said to me before, keeping a crab with cl's is trouble because it will nip them and cause ws but I took it with a pinch of salt as my lfs said it was nothing to worrie about.
What do you think?
Cheers

Clowns are prone to white spot and when the water conditions are bad it is likely to set in.

yeah,c.l definately are prone to whitespot! I think keeping crabs with c.l is not such a good thing-from what i have seen crabs have a go at anything that hangs near the bottom of the tank.
