I have 4 clown loaches that are fat and healthy.

Need to thin the herd a little bit.

$25.00 to $40.00 per fish.

These are show quality clown loaches and will be a great addition to a show tank.

Baller fish. I saw some mediocre ones in Austin for $40 at 2"

I'm only offering them because i have 10 in a 125 and i'm developing a group of burundi frontosa's in the same tank.

To keep the fronts growing and maintain a quality ecological balance i think reducing some of the loaches is a smart although don't want to right decision.

Just curious but what defines a clown loach as "show quality"?

[Andrew_B]

Petsmart clowns vs Ramas clowns, pretty big difference in quality. Health, size, some clowns are pale orange, some or a more bold orange with defined black stripes/patterns.

[eklikewhoa]

I thought all that would be dependent on mood and husbandry...
I've had clowns that were 5-7" that I bought and they all are pale or spotty stripes but after being in a more permanent home they color back up and get the vivid colors and solid stripes.

They eat like kings and look better than 90% of the 1000's of loaches i've seen.

so it's based on your opinion of them, that is fair enough.

GLWS bro!

My question about the show quality was to further get an idea of what you are offering.

Normally I see "show quality" in association with clowns to describe misbars or odd spots/bars.



Just to clarify.

Just to clarify.

Colors are good and spots are regular. Fish are large and healthy and their bellies are fat. That equals quality IMO. Will they win top prize at the fair probalby not but everyone will want to take them home

One of the loaches is 25 years old ( and not for sale).

[moganman]

I had no idea they lived that long. Wow. That's a year younger than me
