I'm interested to see what the retail prices for clown loaches are at your LFS. If you are buying at wholesale from a distributor, please post what a retailer sells them for in your area.

In Metro MN:

The advantage of working at an LFS is that we get these every once in while. The reason you don't see them is either the employees buy them right off, or customers do if there isn't a loach nut on staff. Apparently there aren't many loach fans that shop my lfs, because we got a tank full of 3+" loaches. I bought them up over the last couple months, and I think I got every one. My coworkers know that if a loach comes in at 4" or better, they bag it and call me. I have seen the Leprechaun ride a unicorn only once!

Around here we don't have much to choose from as far as the size of the clown loaches go.

They are all mostly in the 1''-3'' range and are any where from $8-$10 and that is pretty standard.

You will occasionally find a larger one, but they are usually bought up real quick so I don't really know what the prices of the larger loaches are around here.

Gulp...Are you sure, Ewurm?! Must be a figment of your imagination again.

Clown Loaches?? I think they're listed on the Dow Jones! Prices varies with demand (and cost of freight).

I never buy anyfish locally.. You can get them online for around $2.50 - $4.00 each for 2".

 

[Zeppelin3k]

6"-$22.50

 

[JD_MAN]

3-4" - $29.99
5-6" - $69.99

I will have to check on the rest of those prices the next time I go out.

The ones I normally see are:
1-1.5" $10 (or about $7 if you are willing to sacrifice buying from Meijer-small step up from Walmart)
2-3" $15
and occasionally at another store I go to, they have ~5" for around $70
