Large loach species

[follen]

Are there any other loach species which get large like clowns, I've seen some pretty big yo yos but nothing overly big. Not sure on species but I saw a blue loach with red fins today how big do these get as a big one over 6" would be awesome. Cheers

Tiger loach "botia"

I had 6 until something wiped them out, however I'm going to get more with my 350 in a few weeks. They can get to around 12" long:
