I used to work at a pet store as an aquatic specialist and a woman came up to me, absolutely freaking out, claiming that I was keeping the tiger barbs in one of the community tanks. I went over to see what she meant and she pointed to the tank with the clown loaches and said "You can't keep these aggressive barbs with these other community fish!". I said, "those are clown loaches not tiger barbs." Then she said "WHO TOLD YOU THAT?!!!!" so condescendingly. I fucking hated working retail. Pretentious fools trying to tell me what kind of fish we have. lolol.
It's the other way around for me. Always rude ass people working in the fish retail and try and make you look dumb. Like yes I want 50 fish to go in my 5 gallon tank. (Sarcasm) Not all of us are ignorant. I'm not gonna go in a store to purchase fish and not do my research. Annoys me.
For the first 15 seconds of the video, I'm thinking, "that guy's no more than 6" tops"...then at 16 seconds, "oh, ok" as the beast enters the shot. Nice loach! The tank looks awesome too.
That is one handsome fish you have there! We have 2 clown loaches that are about a year and a half old and they are obviously nowhere near as big but I can't wait to see them grow into such majestic fish! Do you mind if I ask a question? We have found that they are the first to 'greet' any new additions to our tank (4' x 1' x 1'6") and love nothing more than to quite literally show them round. They are inseparable but love hanging out with the albino red finned shark that we have. Have you found that yours are quite sociable too?
Beautiful. Becoming my favourite fish. I’ve got two but these guys look great in a school along with silver dollars. How do they live with the red tailed shark?
Freeze the frame at 0:26 and it is obvious that this fish is much closer to seven inches. But that's o.k., I think every pet owner likes to both exaggerate and embellish the details of their pets. It is a healthy fish. I have 31 Clowns in a 300 gallon and keep more smaller individuals in a 72 gallon bow front tank.
I have two dojos (golden) and one clown. They do just fine. All three are 3 or 4 years old. Excellent substrate janitors! Keep them fed with frozen meat cubes - the ones sold at pet stores - and they'll be happy as can be. Only difference behavior-wise I've seen is that clowns tend to hang out near the bottom and mind their own business, whereas dojos are highly curious and will get real close to your arm if you reach in to move a rock or something like that. But, know this - Dojos require the temperature be kept under 80 degrees. Anything higher will stress them out and if continued, make them sick and eventually die.
damn my clown died at 4 1/2 inches. that is an awesome redtail shark. I have 2. 1 in the 46 gallon and a big one in the 125. the big one in the 125 is barely under 6 inches ! how big is your redtail ?
benjamin wickes how big is this tank and how big could you expect a clown loach to grow in this tank, im thinking entering the hobbie again and clown loaches are my favourate fish! last time i didnt have a very big tank and struggled to see anything grow significantly so if you could answer with some detail on there sizes in relation to tank size or even just in your case that would be awsome, thx richard :)
I have a few at 6-7" the biggest was 9" but unfortunately the biggest one died, can only assume the cause was constipation, stopped eating for two days and I return from work he was gone.
Haha, yeh, unfortunately she died! Unknown cause. Came home from work and she was dead! I think constipation! They are amazing fish, but you need a by tank for them and they need to be in groups of 5 or more!
Wow, I used to have a clown loach, but it sadly died after a month. I also have a red tail shark, but it is tiny compared to your tank's ones. My tank is 64 litres, nothing too big
What is that Ram? You have 1 yellow and blue 1. I know the yellow is most likely a gold ram but the Blue?????? Never seen that, and it looks nothing like a blue electric 1:05 Upper left corner
Joshua Kosloski I wish they were paired, they pair up pretty well, but the other fish become an issue then! I think a tank solely for the rams would be better!
Just curious At 0:14 on the right. What fish is the brown fish next to Clown Loaches that look's like a Clown Loach but brown. Thanks in advance ! Plus your tank is beautiful ! :)
hey.. I'm after some advice, I have a 3" tiger Oscar and 3 clown loach all approximately 5" so bigger than the Oscar, they sort of tolerate each other but my Oscar is always chasing them, would this be classed as bullying, I just don't want the clown loach getting really stressed by this if that is at all possible.. He doesn't hurt them but it looks pretty annoying
Hi i notice you have wood in your tank, I'm just wondering how you have managed to stop it from turning your water to and orangey colour? I am having great difficulty with my wood, as it will turn my water orange! I'd appreciate it if you responded! Beautiful loach by the way!
Hi there. The brown colouring seeping from your wood is called Tannins. It's found in all wood and you have to soak or boil (boiling is a lot faster) the wood to get all of the tannins out before putting it in your tank. The good news though is that the tannins don't negatively affect your fish in any way except for possibly lowering the pH of the water. Besides that, it just doesn't look good. :P If you boil the wood then I recommend boiling until the water turns as dark as possible, and then dump the water and replace it with fresh water. Repeat until the water doesn't change colour anymore. If your piece of wood is too big to boil in any sort of pot, then just put it into a large container to soak in hot water instead. That process could take up to weeks or months though, from what I've read.
They say it's a social fish so I wonder would 2 clowns be alright or do they need larger schools to stay happy? Love the way they look but I can't house more than 2-3 of them in my 90 gallon.

😂😂😂 some people have no idea, she the kind of person to have silver sharks in her 1ft long community tank.
benjamin wickes
Yeah, exactly! I'm so glad to no longer be in retail. lol
It's the other way around for me. Always rude ass people working in the fish retail and try and make you look dumb. Like yes I want 50 fish to go in my 5 gallon tank. (Sarcasm) Not all of us are ignorant. I'm not gonna go in a store to purchase fish and not do my research. Annoys me.
I keep 21 tetrazona with 24 cardinal tetra and 4 angelfish. And 1 red tail shark. No problems
@@benle4 would be cool if you had some killifish uptop
For the first 15 seconds of the video, I'm thinking, "that guy's no more than 6" tops"...then at 16 seconds, "oh, ok" as the beast enters the shot. Nice loach! The tank looks awesome too.
The same!
Thats a big yoyo loach also!
I have five clown loaches. My oldest is over 10 years old. It is not as big as yours. You are doing a great job keeping all your fish so healthy.
Great group of loaches especially the monster! Where did you find the orange tubes?

They live for years. Up to 80 lol.
they all want a bit in the lime light 😂😂😂
I love clown loaches they are beautiful
Nice tank. Funny thing is your gold ram is your smallest fish. In my tank, my gold ram is the biggest fish i have.
It's really a nice tank!
Wow great looking clowns! Are they still doing okay?
How many years?
Love your tank dude!
Same!

Yooooooo woooow man your fish are amazing I love the set up I no this was 2 year ago but wooow
I just got some clown loachs. Im just curious how many gallons is your tank? I have 2x 130 gals atm.
do they enjoy the tubes? I was thinking about getting some tubes for them.
Mine is big enough to get meal worms it's about 7 inches or so. It makes a weird clicking noise at times to
you have got beautiful loaches. big is your tank?
Clowns are my absolute favourite! I subbed 😁
nice. mine is about 12 years old, maybe same size as yours
I used to have one that was around 12 inches and all white
That betta made my day lol
Beautiful. These loaches live for decades.
My older live till fifteen!
I have a 10 yr old clown and a 5yr old one love them, they are a comunity tank, my plecky 10yrs old too :-)
que hermosos peces tienes ... saludos desde colima mexico
i love clown loaches because they look chubby
9 inch monster. LOL.
do dojo loaches do well with clown loaches because I havn't seen a vid with both of them in one aquarium
I have two dojos (golden) and one clown. They do just fine. All three are 3 or 4 years old. Excellent substrate janitors! Keep them fed with frozen meat cubes - the ones sold at pet stores - and they'll be happy as can be.

I believe you are reading your tape measure wrong. Inches are on the top.
From the end of his tail to the tip of his nose, stretches from the 4" marker to the 12" marker, so 8" sorry, but definitely not 8cm.
I love the little gold ram
damn my clown died at 4 1/2 inches. that is an awesome redtail shark. I have 2. 1 in the 46 gallon and a big one in the 125. the big one in the 125 is barely under 6 inches ! how big is your redtail ?
The red tail is about 5 inches long, doesn't seen to be getting any bigger or any fatter though!
still, yours is one of the best looking ones I have seen. how long have you had yours ?
benjamin wickes how big is this tank and how big could you expect a clown loach to grow in this tank, im thinking entering the hobbie again and clown loaches are my favourate fish! last time i didnt have a very big tank and struggled to see anything grow significantly so if you could answer with some detail on there sizes in relation to tank size or even just in your case that would be awsome, thx richard :)
Awesome loaches dude! What size tank is that?

I have a few at 6-7" the biggest was 9" but unfortunately the biggest one died, can only assume the cause was constipation, stopped eating for two days and I return from work he was gone.
Lovely tank and fish. I could watch them all day.
Owww thats a huge 1 . . What's the name of the fish beside him? Look like a cory .and how do you clean the big tank like that? Thanks B-)
Could you give me a list of what fish you have in there? Also what do you feed them? Thanks :)

Can take years pal! And some grow a lot faster than others!
Holy crap that's one big clown loach thinking of get one but like a 5-6 cm lol
Haha, yeh, unfortunately she died! Unknown cause. Came home from work and she was dead! I think constipation! They are amazing fish, but you need a by tank for them and they need to be in groups of 5 or more!
Ahh man that sucks and yeah Iv got a 3 ft
Wow, I used to have a clown loach, but it sadly died after a month. I also have a red tail shark, but it is tiny compared to your tank's ones. My tank is 64 litres, nothing too big
awesome! i just upgraded to a 120g for 4 of my loaches
Wow!! I LOVE your fishes!
How long did it take your clowns to get that big? I have a really small one
You should get a weather loach, like not the gold ones, the normal cool looking ones.
i have one same size, a community for 40+ botia. Love this tank!
Im sad, i got my clown loaches i just started to get use to then now they just died 1 month later ):
Do you have a stocking list for your tank?
where did you get the drift wood and substrate?
how old roughly is the big one and are the others the same age but just never grew? approx years?
***** biggest 8 years old, was brought this size, they take very long to grow and require a lot of water
All I can say is they eating well lol good job I can't wait for my clown loach to get that big lol
Is it just me or is there a betta fish in there
what size is this tank?
450litres, 5.ft wide
What is that Ram? You have 1 yellow and blue 1. I know the yellow is most likely a gold ram but the Blue?????? Never seen that, and it looks nothing like a blue electric
1:05 Upper left corner
Yeah. It's a blue electric mate haha 👍🏽
benjamin wickes ahhhhhhh!!!!! Are they paired? I wonder what their offspring would be.
Joshua Kosloski I wish they were paired, they pair up pretty well, but the other fish become an issue then! I think a tank solely for the rams would be better!
benjamin wickes hahaha, well I'm just glad someone finally has the right tank size for a bala shark!
Joshua Kosloski I've seen them in such tiny tanks bless them!
would a 55 gallon long be good to keep 1 clown fish?
+Little Caesar Clown loaches need to be kept in groups - keeping one is unnatural and unhealthy.
+Jane Chan I see thanks
Just curious At 0:14 on the right. What fish is the brown fish next to Clown Loaches that look's like a Clown Loach but brown. Thanks in advance ! Plus your tank is beautiful ! :)
Muscle Boy hi pal, thankyou, that is a yoyo loach, or Pakistani loach!

hey.. I'm after some advice, I have a 3" tiger Oscar and 3 clown loach all approximately 5" so bigger than the Oscar, they sort of tolerate each other but my Oscar is always chasing them, would this be classed as bullying, I just don't want the clown loach getting really stressed by this if that is at all possible.. He doesn't hurt them but it looks pretty annoying
your oscar is going to outgrow the loach in a matter of months
What type of beach is that ?

Clown Loaches are one of my favorite fish; and I hate to see them in tiny tanks... =)
+Christopher Reinert yeh same mate the only fish keeping me from switching to marine! I hate when shops sell them to people with new starter tanks.
I love your tank, you should do a video of just the tank and all the fish in its.
Wobbe gong unfortunately my tank is being sold next month! 😭 I’ve moved house and no longer have the space!
Thats kinda sad, thats a really nice tank
How big is your aquarium?
450 litres mate, 100 gallons roughly.
Damn, I thought it was bigger the 125 gallons. Make me wanna get the one that Petsmart has on sale for 500 lol.
PersonaG31 wait til black Friday.. bought mine for 300..best deal ever
Yeah, now that same damn aquarium is 300 dollars lol

@samnella9 yeah the yoyo is best part of 6" if not a little more! The clowns take years to grow and require a lot of tank space and fresh water!
They say it's a social fish so I wonder would 2 clowns be alright or do they need larger schools to stay happy? Love the way they look but I can't house more than 2-3 of them in my 90 gallon.
+Twisted86 Probally like 4 would be good
+Hmoob Vaaj They grow VERY slowly that one is probably 4 years old it takes around 6 years to fully grow
+benjamin wickes How long did it take to grow that big???
+MBen89 I never had this loach from young, but he was around 10 years old
What kind of fish do u all have in there
