and here is a picture of my bigger ones 8"+

Just got this last week.

my bunch are quite skinny compared to others i've seen on loaches.com. hopefully in short time it will get nice and fat.

Sorry to hear about your clown. He's a nice looking one too. One time, my biggest clown (about 6") accidentally jumped all the way through an empty water bridge into an empty tank. I rescued her within a few minutes after it happened though. This clown hasn't went through a water bridge since and t...

Is there a gap between the glass top and the filters? Could be he jumped through it.

there are no gaps anywhere. it was strong enough to push through.

oh well, lesson learned.
RIP little buddy.

So checking out the dats and tigrinus and adding clowns, I guess you are going for a striped theme, then, eh? :D i never really thought about i...

You may have a hard time locating clowns that large. If you do, they will be fish that their owners have kept for YEARS and they likely will want an appropriate home for them. The size of your tank will be a big factor. Also whether or not you do good maintenance, what else you plan to keep them wi...

planning to upgrade to 8' x 4' tank beginning next year if it falls through.

so does this mean we can't obtain any in the US as imports bigger than a particular size. i just got some freshly imported at 8inches. a buddy actually got one close to 10" in the same batch.

new to the forum.. dont see a buy/sell forum. anyone can help point me in the right directions to get some large loaches. 12+ the better. thanks for leading me to the right direction.
