Giant Clown loaches.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Compare. this clown died..and it is the same size with the clown in the photo(refer photo above). If this cant prove that it is real, then just too bad.

I agree with reverse. When they get to 10", they start packing on weight. They are usually very tubby. Most of the fish that are available for purchase are wild-caught

No. LARGE wild caught loaches are all like that.

You got it wrong as the large clowns you guys get are mostly raised from small and hence the better food and less competition as compared in the wild. Perhaps you forgotten that the in the wild, these clowns dont get as much food as they would have gotten in the aquarium.

i have a 6 inch clown which grown up to 8+ and he is super fat.
 
im not calling you a liar, but I am going to say that if that fish is 11" then that is the biggest powerhead I have ever seen. If you could drop a ruler in the tank or something it would be very helpful to confirm how big this guy really is. Again, I am not calling you a liar I just would love to be able to say I have seen it with a measurement.

Again, please refer the latest photo as comparison. the small loaches are at 1-2 inches long. And also, the wavemaker is located closer to me while the loaches were at the back of the aquarium. anyway, i'll do that when i can.

It is a sad thing when i actually post it to share these rare giants just to have doubts raised over the actual size. I'll drop a ruler in there soon to prove it once and for all.

Aren't like 99.9% of the CL we see wild caught?

I thought only a very very small number had ever been bred in tanks and even then by artificial insemination.

This would give us little in the way of comparison for WC and tank bred?
