@RD. - sure buddy ! Cheers

The angler in video after hearing him(I understand and speak Malay well) was very confident in offering the guy on motorbike the CL and it seems he quoted the price very confidently and or it all seems he does this regularly for extra income I guess.(the days of CL being cheap are gone!) I'm...

@RD. you will surprised clown loaches here in Singapore small 1.5-2inch goes for $3-4 which is abt US$2.20 - 2.90 abt US3 each for a 2inch CL.! And a 6-7inch can be anywhere between US45-60 sometimes slightly more. And I've heard that it's a law in Indonesia to export a CL more than 3...

This video an angler in Indonesia a caught a nice big clown loach and sold it US$ 44.! What a nice specimen and judging from the river where it was caught its rather fast flowing. Interesting to watch.! I understand the Malay language very well ! In Indonesia the clown loach goes by the name...

@freak78 and @johnny potatoes - your tanks are gorgeous ! @Matteus - nice impressive size loach ! At what size did you get them and how long till they got this big.?

Gents thks very much for such wonderful replies n advise. This is the proper place to come to for clown loach advise. @RD. - it's very interesting that you said my group of CL are mostly males. If you could please put up photos of male n female CL and kindly tell me how to differentiate.If you...

Hi, yes this is a unique situation we both are in ! Hope you get your CL into their new home fast. Yes me too I give them quality tablets(variety) and frozen bloodworm regularly, and they just gorge on the bloodworms. Guess I'm a little at ease now I knew their growth was slow but not this slow...

Hi, here is my video of my 95 gal. and 7 clown loaches abt 3.5inches and they haven't grown at all and it's been one full year. They feed exceeding well and are very active as you can see there's nothing wrong with them. I will be upgrading to a 6 feet tank in the future but it's a tough time...

I completely agree with Coryloach ! Making the CL mix with smaller species and getting them to be the dominant species of tank would bring out their natural behaviour - great idea!!

After reading all this it all makes good sense.! When I do get my dream 6ft. tank(pending my dear wife's approval !)I actually had plans to make it into a kind of a community tank with some other large fish but now BUT NOW all this might just change. I definitely think a dedicated CL species...

What a detailed and clear writeup on CL with great info.! This is a true insight into the world of the CLOWN LOACH ! Well said buddy.! Really RD this is a treat I never knew that CL would really show their true behaviour in a species tank this is great ! And I'm not surprised you had a a case...

Buddy thks very much for that - you know it's like I said the more I learn about the Clown Loach the more it never stops to amaze me! I actually said in a earlier thread this fish has real emotions and its personality is REALLY something else ! What you said about your fish still living in that...

Nice helpful replies gents.! Yep I'm very careful about sharp edges on their hiding spots n I too am using pipes but one thing I definitely observe is that they love to DIG! and boy do they dig!! I using fine sand for substrate and they just love to dig way underneath the one driftwood that I...

Thanks for assurance buddy mine too swim around mostly in the early mornings and evenings YES they are a great fish like NO OTHER ! Cheers - Bill

What an encouraging reply buddy ! Thks so much yes I'm changing 50%weekly and presently I have 8 CL'S 5-3.5inches and 3 abt 2.5 inches and yes I've made up a clear swimming space for them they're together with 6 scissortail rasbora as dither fish which are always on the top so no bother. They...

I know this is probably a daft question but seriously CL'S best pastime is hiding behind rocks, caves especially digging under driftwood etc. Anyone has a CL got stuck and it passed away.? I mean just llook at them they jam themselves one over another in the TINNIEST hole they can find and they...

Buddy actually I made a mistake after reading properly mine I believe mine are the ones from kalimantan the ones with red/orange pelvic fins they are more brightly coloured than the ones I've seen around. (I hope I'm right) Whatever the case they are gorgeous.! And yes my 4 ft 95 gallon tank has...

Buddy I read that sticky thread abt kalimantan n sumatra CL'S really it's a great thread lots of valuable info there thks so much. But if someone here can say for sure abt the sumatran one not getting too big it would be great help. I mean what is the actual size difference between the two!? It...

Buddy you're absolutely spot on ! I've been reading up on CL growth and yes they're real slow. I even read that the sumatran colourful species don't grow that big as the borneo species.!?(is this true.?) Now my 5 CL'S I bought in early Dec they're 3.5inches and the reason I bought these...
