Clown loach

[MartinBoy]

How long should I expect my clown loach to reach full size in 135 gallon tank?

well i have heard of them living like 30 years so you might have a while just feed him good and it shouldn't be too long.

Kinda slow growers. I have a load of em. had them for over a year, and while they have grown, they just grow a bit slower in comparison to most tankmates. It doesn't matter, just enjoy 'em. They're awesome. Get a load of em in there. Funny as heck to watch

Clown loaches are notorious for very SLOOOWWWW growers. Your looking at over a decade for a fully grown specimen.

The only way to maybe make this shorter was to have a smaller tank and power feed them. Then maybe your talking a few years cut back, but even then I doubt it.

10-15 years before you'll get one near 10 inches.

I have about 10 than are still babies in my eyes but had them 4 years. I have a few 8 inchers though that I found.

How hard would it be to get my hands on some of these 10 inch monsters?

I only found one 10" CL for sale in the last 2 years. Anything over 8" is rare.

I've had many CL's and they typically get to 4-5 inches and slow down allot.
