Royal Clown loach Keepers?

[squid]

Any Royal Clown loach keepers here?
I'm planning to get 2-3 pieces of Royal clown loach this weekend.
They'll be going into my 150 Gallon tank with my 22 inch arowana.
Would appreciate care tips
Also do thye have spikes like clown loaches ?
Also will they get along with clown loaches?

I don't keep them, but wonder if they should be kept with arowana due to the cool temperature preference of Royal Clowns (Leptobotia elongata).

Also, 150 gallons seems a bit on the small side for such enormous fish.

Maybe you should try feeding right before you turn the lights out and try to see if they are coming out at night.
