No sadly I can't take credit for growing the big loach myself. Brought a group of 9 last summer and the 11"er was the biggest, most are around 6-8".
Recently acquired two more groups, bringing my mega shoal to around 36+ individuals
I'll do a thread of them soon
Imagine... Big ones like these are/were eaten... Probably bigger. In their natural habitat I'd bet ones we think as monsters are still getting eaten... Imagine if they would realize what a monster clown loach like that would be prized/cost to us...

That's a whole lot of clowns! I swear clown loach keeping is an addiction lol. I told myself I was done getting clowns just a couple weeks ago. And some how a wild caught 9" clown just jumped in my tank last week! I don't even know how it happened... Hahaha
I hear that. This last one was the only one I've spent any kind of cash on, though. The rest I have I've grown from small sizes except for a 7"er that was a trade in at my lfs that I got for $45. Either takes patience or cash to have big clowns lol
I like clown loaches but wouldn't personally pay more than 50$ for one. I like growing out fish so this fish would be perfect wouldn't outgrow my tank until 15 years from now lol
It sure is addictive! Don't think I'll ever stop searching for the occasional larger specimen to add, like any hobby that involves collecting/hoarding, you never really stop lol!
Have to admit that keeping such a large group makes for great viewing, when they whole group is on the move its a sight to be seen, my god do they eat though!
Not the best pic but here is all (I think!) the members of the loach army
