Where to get nice clown loaches

[LiquidFX]

Clown loaches do eat snails... Added 3 of them a few days ago and now... ZERO snails...

hi avant, i got my clown loach from pet mart ... but manage to see the chain loach in H2O, quite a rare loach to buy

loach grow very slow, i had mine for a year plus already, only grew abt inch long ... quite cute to me esp it has been with me for quite some time already, got feelings for it

clown loaches eat up snails, earlier had snail attack, tried puffer but they are too aggressive to my other fishes, so tried clown loaches instead, that's where my love for clown loaches starts.

Clown loach loves blood worms for food, the moment i put into the tank, you can see them coming out from the hiding place and searches in frenzy, quite a sight

my clown loaches never give my plants any problem, by the way, anyone has any idea how do i post pics over this forum?

airstern..you mean u got the baby clowns from petmart? when was it? now still got not? how much is it?
i used to have a big apple snail. one fine day, left only the shell and the door. i dunno which loach did it though.
i fed mine with bloodworms and brine shrimp.. sometimes also put algae pellets.. u can ready hear the loud clicking sound. ha
wat plants do u keep with them? dun think they are especially friendly to stemmed plants.

You have to upload the pic to the web, then use the IdealBB code

Do any of u guys have any idea of how f****** (don't want to be chased out of this forum) expensive the fishes are??? One clown loach costs abotu $12.50 over there!!!! A male guppy over there can cost up to 5 bucks each.

And over here in lovely S'pore....it only costs 1 dollar for a guppy...and 3.50 for a clown!!!! Da**

if you want to see very active clown loach,
go to "fish"
and then click "Striped Midas" to download video 4 and 5.
it is very well worth the download.

yes
when're you coming back to singapore?

[bleeder]

Will a chain loach be ok with cories? Anyone has any idea how big this fella gets?

Know of any place I can get them though? I was at petmart yesterday,but was hesitant in getting the clown loach as I know that it can grow pretty huge right? Mine's only a 2ft tank...so I dare not take the risk.

I am also looking for a fish that will threaten the livelihood of my snails (those dam* little bug*ers).

Thanks...[]

I study in Melbourne...but i a singaporean...so i am back here for holidays....

[DEA]

Hi, use to have a horseface who did a great job on the snails. Also very cute to have him hide in the gravel with only the eyes and a bit of snout sticking out, or sometimes just strange sand moving for no reasons []

and the best part, I don't need to have a school of them since my tank is only 80cm. Unfortunately it when to fish-heaven sometime back . Know where I might find some?
