But anyway this really scared me. hes the only loach in there and the temp is 29 degrees celcius( about 85 fahrenheit). Yea please help me

First loaches like to be in groups of three or more and Clown Loaches especially are very social. They also need a very large tank as they get to be 12 inches or better. Most get to 6 inches in the first year. They are also very sensitive to water quality. Your temp is a little high also. 80f is high enough unless your treating disease.
So, what size is your tank? What are the water test readings(ammonia, Nitrites, Nitrates) ?
What are you feeding? What is yout partial water change schedule?

what size is your tank? Your tank is very pretty but a few more plants will make your fish more comfortable.
