Wow! My six Clown Loaches have made it to 30 years of age!
When I bought them in January 1995 people claimed to know they lived around 10 years. Even today some websites still say this and there is a lot of incorrect information on the internet.
Many people don't really know how old their Clown Loaches are as they are not the first owner but I've been lucky enough to rear these from their purchase as (I believe) one year old imported specimens.
I have never lapsed in their care. They have grown in a six foot aquarium and the largest fish is 11.5 inches total length.
The only thing that threatened them was the Whitespot that they brought with them when I first took them home.
These were the fish I always wanted since I saw them in a book when I was a child.
It's a great milestone.
But there is hopefully more. The journey goes on.
It’s been great being on this forum, so informative and entertaining so thanks.
Happy New Year to you all and I wish you all the best with your fish.
