I tried to get a pic next to a tape measure and it did not work at all.

[Diskboy12]

After watching it swim near my tape measure, I would only say around 7".

[Mr Pleco]

I'm guessing mine was around 9-10", he wouldn't fit in the 8" net the other day..He hasn't grown lengthwise since I've owned him , but his thickness is getting up there, quite a wall splasher, with some pretty impressive tusks......:popcorn:

Pics where in my gallery

do you know how old are your 10" CL's?

[justin guest]

do you know how old are your 10" CL's?
About 6 years old. The biggest one eats a whole mussel every day so its growth rate is very fast for a cl

I just posted pics of my largest six in the sticky thread, the biggest is close to 20cm.

[mattison187]

i got 3 that are about 5" - 5.5" no pics currently

[bmxer4ever]

Got 9 Clowns at the mo...
From 2in + inches up to 7in +
Second biggest is 6in +, don't think I've got a pic of the big guy.
Saw a 3in in a store the other day, wanted £20 for him! I've got 2 that size and most of the rest are double that!
Made me wonder how much Loach cash is swimmin' in my tank...

(We are measuring body length, not with tail, yeah?!)

[bmxer4ever]

Just like this pic....

[Red Devil]

My biggest is around 4.5".
nice pic and great size...

[Red Devil]

i have one pushing 5 inches..so exciting to finally start seeing some size.. the rest are smaller but close...

[nosegoblin]

I believe the biggest one is around 12 to 14 cm so that is something like 5 inches. I do have one picture and a video of him/her as well. The knife shaft in the picture will give some perspective about it's size.

Then there is of course the video as well where can be seen some of my other clowns as well:

Awesome video....

I like the fatties chasing away all other from the food.

Tank looks awesome, all that foliage above the water line alive?

[nosegoblin]

Yep. All the plants have their roots hanging in the tank. Easy to maintain houseplants as no watering is required. :D

I do not know the English names for each of them but the latin names are Scindapsus pictus, Spathiphyllum wallisii, Epipremnum pinnatum and Monstera deliciosa.

[Muske]

How about lighting?

Natural or artificial?

[nosegoblin]

I have 3 x 70w metal halide lamps attached to the roof. Below is an very old picture when I first bought the lamps. They're actually meant for lighting up some store windows but works fine for aquarium too.
