I think you need 5 posts in the regular forums before you can post pics. Some forum sections such as Introduce yourself and the Lounge do NOT count for post totals.
Welcome aboard. Pretty sure regardless of the forum you join you'll have a hard time finding folks with more experience than yourself with clowns. I have a shoal of 11 (if I remember correctly haha) with the three oldest being 8.5" to almost 10" and 7-8 years old. Looking forward to seeing your big clowns!
Can't wait to see pics of those clown loaches! I have 5 CLs, one is 13 years old and 7". I bought it from another hobbiest who was selling his setup . I purchased the other 4 when I realised the loach needed some friends.
