Well - I suppose this isn't much confort - but clown loaches do some of
the stupid things you've mentioned - lets see - they like to swim down
the lift tube to the undergravel filter - then get stuck - what a pain
it is to take the bloody tank apart to get him out - had another get
stuck inside an ornamental castal - then but a 1/16 inch gash into his
side trying to squeeze back out (when the gash started getting deep - I
had to use a hammer to break the castal apart so he could get out).
Somehow one got into the external filter and then chewed up by the
propeller (an aquaclear 610 - same as the newer 300) - he didn't go up
the lift tube - but he still found his way to the propeller... and to
think you wanted 10 of them ... 

Actually, for all the hassal - I have to say that I like my loaches -
even if they are clowns...
