Yanni Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 You could try to sell or give it away on Craigslist or something like that. I'm sure someone would love to have a clown loach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Frist thing is to get it better than mybe your LFS will take it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garren Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I would nurse it back to health and enjoy watching it get better. It will really give you a appreciation for the species then as others said give it away to a LFS or some else that can take care of it long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomicfish Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I don't know for sure but I don't think clown loaches get that big. I think the max size is about 6 inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenFins Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 How big is the clown loach that you have? They will grow somewhat fast for the first 6months - 1year, but other then that it will take 2, 3 years to reach its max size. Depending on the size of clownloach a 50 gallon should be fine for a year or two. You should also get him some friends. Here is a video: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first year it will grow somewhat fast and then it will grow very slowly from then on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
