Clown loach prices

[TankBuster]

Is it just me or is $8.99 seem wat too much for a fish that demands to be in large schools?
These lfs's and pet stores know they need to be in groups and the price doesnt reflect that. A good group foir loaches is about 10, now add that up and you have spent a fortune.

I prefere yo-yos, dojos, and horsehead loach. yoyos are a cheap, better looking botia, dojos: cheap, active, can live in almost any fw tank(water wise), can live quite a while after it jumps out of tanks (unless you have cats), and I had a 5" horsehead loach that took small gravel into its mouth, tumbled it, and cleaned it thouroghly, then deposited it out its gills. never liked the look or price of clowns (and khulis). I understand clowns can get well over a foot wich caches my interest, and they are intelligent. i'll give em a shot

I think I paid like 7 bucks for mine on sale. I have 5 and wish I would have bought like at least 7 more. I love them.
