Hope I don't kill these.
They're in with baby dat, an Eel, and Fig 8's and Amazon Puffies.
They're about 4-5 inches.
I hope their color comes back soon, I got 'em 3 days ago, and this is as soon as I put them in the tank.




 
Clown loaches are awsome, that one looks pretty big in the last pick. When they color up I bet they will look really nice!! =)
 
SEXY!! I LOVE Clown Loaches! If they weren't so sensative to ich...oooo doggy! You got some NICE sized ones as well! Score! How many did you get? I saw a group (10) of 8" clown loaches in a display tank once...WOW.....they were spectacular! Definately one of the kewler fishies out there! Watch out for that eye spine though, SUCKs to get nailed by it...lol....

It was a sad day.
 
SHIZET!! 28!! LoL!! That woulda been AWESOME TO SEE! I had a batch of 12 of them...lost them to ich as well! SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED! They were soo pimp...loved them. Wanna get more soo bad. It was funny...one day i woke up and couldn't find them anywhere, i thought they had jumped or sumptin but i couldn't find them. Finally I looked in my canister filter...well what'do ya know...i had 12 clown loaches swimmin around happily in my canister filter...I took pictures...can't find them now. Sooo relieved they were alright!

Yeah, I'm gonna try boostin the higher temps when i get them again....lol...I've got all my tankz at AT LEAST 83 degrees right now...so tis all good to go. Where can i get those other supplements though is the question. Also, would salt treatment work for them? I know the meds are out....:(....just wish there was some way i could fight it if it did come!

and yes a salt treatment would work, in conjunction with a heat treatment
