Clown Loaches, Sale price???

[PATSFAN69]

Just checking to see how much I should try and get for my loaches. As of right now I'm not sure how many I even have. But they range from 2 1/2 to 5" Some have a black spot on there sides and some have saddle back stripes, but most are normal. Can someone help me out with some ideas???

I see the price of loaches varying greatly. Also I've never seen the pattern make a difference on the price of them, but you should just ship them to me to join my shoal in my 125 instead

I see loaches @

2 inches $2.50

3inches $4.00

larger varies in my area.

^ Really? Wow, VERY cheap IMO...

Yea that sounds pretty cheap - the babys (2 inchers) are lik 6.99 at the LFS round here. I'd say like 15-20 for the 5 inchers, maybe? I dunno - OR you could just ship them over to ME - and they could join MY shoal in the 125

These are local vendor prices that I can get lol. Not the pet store.

It is nearly inoppasble to breed clown loachs as you need 1000 gallon tank with loads of mud, and a strong current for the water

that's why they are quite rare when they are big. e.g: 20-30 cms

I think it's even harder than that.
The only credible reports of clowns being successfully bred have come from farms where the loaches have been injected with hormones from bream.
