Assuming your loaches to be about 5 cm each (which is the size often
found in shops) your 13 loaches would be about 65 cm, requiring approx.
130 l of water, your neons would increase that to about 150 or so.

In due course (that is over 30 years or so, they are very long-lived),
clown loaches get to 20-25 cm, so two of them would fill your present
tank.

So for your fishes you should get a 200 l tank to begin with, and then
after a couple of years either sell some of the loaches (they become
quite valuable as they grow) or get additional tanks for them.
