Can clown loaches see in complete darkness?

Thats the question, can clown loaches see in complete darkness?

I will be getting some moonlights but at the moment when I turn the lights off in my living room, the whole room is dark. I'm wondering if they can see anything in complete darkness.

They will be able to smell/taste the foods scent in the water, locate it and navigate around decor and obstacles using their lateral line system to reach it. No worries.
So many species of fish yet so little time, space and money to keep them all...
