Welcome to AA! I'm sorry to hear that your fish died. I'm not too familiar with clown loaches, except that they are sensitive to ammonia. Do you check ammonia, pH, nitrates, and nitrites in your tank? Knowing these details can help narrow down the cause of death. Also, the list of other tankmates and the size of the tank would help too.

Do you put salt in your tank? They are sensitive to that as well. Most meds that you put in your tank should be half dose. Google 'Loaches Online" you will get a world of information on there about Loaches...great, informative site.
Sorry about your loss, always sad when we lose something we love....good luck
