Different Species of Clownloach?

[mehtab_gill]

I was wondering on the different species of clown loach. I've seen pictures of different colours than the regular orange/black on some clown loaches and was wondering if this is a different breed or just genetically different (like an albino) I would also like to know if these different coloured clown loach can get along with the regular clowns and school with one another.

As far as I know, Chromobotia macracanthus is unique. There are variations within the species, and the odd mutation here and there, but all clown loaches are the same species (until some scientist decides otherwise).

Here is a good article describing the differences between variations:
