Clown Loaches

[Fry]

I tried to use them as feeders but failed....... fast little bastards

those would be some expensive feeders, and they can cut up the one munching on them pretty bad

Yep, I would'nt swallow a Clown Loach.

Why were you using clown loaches for food? What were you trying to feed.

Thats cool. I made the mistake of putting some in my planted tank to kill the snails. Now I realize I will never get them out without tearing up all my plants. I would love to have 30+. They look cool as they follow you with food in your hand.

there's a lot of varying info on how big they actually get. some sites say ~12" while others say up to 16". the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago has a group that is around a foot long. they are incredibly slow growers though and from some sites I've read can take up to 20+ years to reach adult size.
