How much would this Loach be worth?

[zerojquan85]

I picked up a Clown loach today.. about 7" I'm not a big Clown loach guy.. but when i saw it.. i was surprise at how big it is.. and wanted to just buy it.. so i did...

How much would it cost? and is this a he or she?

2 yrs ago I bought 3 6" Clown Loaches for $30 each and felt like I got a heck of a good deal. For that one you got I'd expect to pay (and would) about $50.

I just picked up 3 4inch loaches for 17 dollars each and felt like I got a steal, I could be wrong on that, but all other fish peddlers were pushing 1-2 inch loaches for 10 a pop.

A 7 inch loach is a nice size, and very hard to find around here.

some people would say $50-$60 other would go lower, some would go higher. its really personal preference.

I wonder if you'll all be pissed i said that i only paid $16 for this loach..
He store owner originally said $20 but since i shop there all the time.. she just said that 16 was fine.. so i did... hehehehe....

I have a feeling this loach is a female.. but my only possible lead is the giant belly and nothing else... I haven't heard case of them breed either...

So.Not.Fair !!
Heck of a deal. My 3 6 inchers are fat 9 inchers 2 yrs later. It seems the bigger they get the faster they grow. Get some buddies for him and sit back and enjoy. They're the best cleaner-uppers there are. I've got 16 of them in with 2 Oscars in an 8' tank and the tank bottom is spotless all the time.

Mine don't do that great of a job cleaning up, but it could be because I load up a veggie clip and leave them little treats on the tank floor...
