OMG!!

[stevenallenbarnard]

it was linked from a thread on loaches.com that I found linked from MFK. Appearantly the lady says the biggest ones name is "Marge" (large marge) I noticed that on the two huges ones the black bands were starting to break. is this normal. I've never had one bigger than 3" so I've never seen this.

[imagirlgeek]

Large Marge....

I don't know if that's normal or not. We have some that are about 5" and their bars are still intact.

[mark razmandi]

I have a CL that is about 7in and all bars are intact and full colored

That's really cool.

I have a clown loach that's about 19 years old. He's the last of 4 that I bought from Pet's Mart on Bay Area Blvd the 1st week they were open.

He's not that big. About 7" and real healthy looking. I'm not one to over feed. I probably underfeed.

Poor guy is in his 5th or 6th tank. Right now he's in my 36 bow front office tank. I have a huge piece of driftwood that I am starting to wonder if it's ever going to sink. Once it sinks and the tannins clear I'll post some pics

you're gonna have to sink it with rocks. I bought some unsunk wood from a member on here, really nice pieces too, but yeah, it can be a pain to sink em in a tank sometimes

Bill

as far as I know there has only been maybe one or two reported but non confirmed cases of them breeding in home aquaria. I do believe, though, that they are bred commercially; probably in large rearing ponds.

That biggest once looks like he is about to bust!
