I wonder where they are getting them...Indonesia does not allow exports of large clowns...

The fact that they're calling them 'crown' loaches (not an easy type-o to make!) doesn't fill me with confidence!

You will quite often find Chinese or Japanese people substituting 'r' for 'l', so that's not an uncommon thing at all. Possibly a Chinese business running out of Bangkok?

I'm more dubious of the shape of that fish being a 12" fish.

I don't believe that is a 12" specimen, the proportions look all wrong. It does unfortunately look to be quite beaten up and skinny. I hope it finds a good home.

The 'head' stands out as if it's others parts are deprived of feedings. It wants to grow, but cant.

So sad!

It's no Marge, that's for sure.

here's another pic of the bigs clowns at their website-


and the one at aquabid-

$400 + 140 shipping. That's an expensive fish. I'd love to have them though.
