32 Clown Loach

[skidpiggy]

how many clown loaches do you think would be appropriate for a 4ft 50 gallon tank???

[kcamerons]

nice horde; hope you have a bigger tank for when theyre 14"

[mikeydude319]

u moron if u kept all of those 32 clown loaches or as i saw u now have 81 the 32 clown loaches alone would at least need 384 gallons but if you have 81 now u would need 972 gallons alone for the clown loaches but don't forget your other fish u would need like 1,500 gallons to make your fish happy!!!!!!! CLOWN LOACHES GET 12 INCHES LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OsmossProductions]

omg overstocked much!

[HarrisBurdick]

great song!

[buguy26]

nice!!Check mind out iM also A clown lovers..

[TheKingfisher22]

I have 7 of these guys in my 6ft community tank They are happier in a shoal and very peaceful with other tankmates

I have a fluval FX4 external and an internal Fluval packed with carbon

Other occupants are kissing gourami 3 bala sharks 6 silver dollars 4 Denison Barbs Platys, neons, glowlights,2 zebra loach 4 Rhomboo barbs and 1 small plecko

[phantomisle]

Wow, I have a 72 gallon bow front tank and have about seven clown loaches in it already, how many more do you think I could get. These fish are so fascinating.

[Bygde]

Not a whole lot more. Clowns grow to be really big, and need a lot of space when they do get bigger. Places to hide is another factor, more fish require more caves and other places to hide.

[jawsflounderace]

@phantomisle I think that's the limit, possibly over. Clown's get up to aroound 12 inches

[sergi0raymond]

the first thing i said upon seeing the loaches was "wow" XD

[mrzozo111]

what do u feed your clown loach ?

[LOACHABLE]

HUGE FOR A PLANTED TANK AND THAT MANY

[larylump90]

did u breed or buy

[Rocktecho]

He bought them, because it is very difficult to breed them, and only one person in russia has done it.

[Parasmunt]

These are beautiful fish but i agree that this is overstocking and in addition i don't see any hiding places, or caves - which this species would appreciate.

[dinger454]

Overstocking my arse! thats the trouble when know it alls are allowed to comment. The fish look extremely happy and in excellent condition. Stocking levels will always depend upon the type of filtration and the amount of water changes done on the tank. Since you dont have any of that information to hand you cannot possibly say that its overstocked. I note you dont have any fish videos on here

[leobarrac]

only a millonaire could buy such a big number of botias.but they worth every cent.

[demonichell]

excellent!

[ramsheatcards52]

OVERSTOCKED AS HECK!!!! Clown loaches are a foot each! 1 inch per fish.... 12 times 32= WAY MORE THAN 180 GALLONS!

[gonowmb09]

Who/where do you purchase your loaches from - i was thinking about adding more to my group. pls check out my loach tank, thanks

[cheezbeenzriz]

that some fat fishes

[Rocktecho]

Your overfeeding them arsehole. ( Reply to kooolman11)

[jordan8medeiros]

did u buy them all at the same time or added differnt ones in at differnt times?

[kin959]

I purchased them in small groups at different times in different sizes. Current school size in this tank is at 81. That's in a 2nd video.

[jordan8medeiros]

can u mix diff size clown loaches i have 2 four inches and 4 1 inches can i put them in the same tank?( if they havent been together and arnt family)

[kin959]

yes, you could mix them. They prefer to be in schools, the larger the better. It's recommended that clown loaches be in a school of at least 6. You'd might find them to be a lot more active as you add to their school size. Just be careful of ich outbreaks. You could lose the entire school from ich.

[luked1999]

when i added two new clowns to mine a last week the two new ones got ich but the existing ones are okay? how should i treat this? will it spread to the other fish and what do u reccomend i should do with the two which have ich?

[HarlanAshmore]

Add ich cure at half stregth

[ollieflp]

The sound track goes perfect with this it should have been all the way through

[kin959]

LOL! I was watching Kill Bill when I was filming the loaches.

[0obastardo0]

X_X nice

[ollieflp]

NICE! Do you have problems with the loach getting at the plants?

[kin959]

I removed the plants a few weeks after this video was shot. Some of the cichlids I had was nibbling on them.

[buckmark7]

why would u want 500 hundred loaches.....variety brotha

[kin959]

I raise 51 different species of fishes. Is that enough variety for you?

[wonkydonkey12]

cool loaches, have they ever bred?

[blayker127]

no one has ever shown proof of loaches breeding in captivity....i have seen a few pictures of clown loach fry but that was from a hormone farm overseas where they force-breed them

[TheFishGuy011]

how do tou tell male/female clown loaches?

[arbizzle420]

would like to see the rest of your tank, thought i spotted a convict and a tinfoil barb in there

[kin959]

The silver fish is a semiprochilodus. The cichlids are vieja synspilus.

[66SiK]

I've never seen that many clumped up together

[kin959]

It's grown to 81 clown loaches now.

[66SiK]

That's great man. I really like the big ones, I know they grow pretty slow so I admire your patience. Have you been able to breed them in an aquarium? As far as I know, nobody has. But good luck

[TRYLSTEG]

nice video man

[millipedee]

i have just 6.i want them all!

[Huskyproducts]

Wow!That's the biggest amount of Loaches!I only have three!

[unitedkell]

how do i get my clown loach to grow larger i feed my 6, muscles ,blood worm,cucumber,tubifex worms,pellets.there 2 years old,300 litre tank,eheim 2217 external filter.79 temp.

[kin959]

generally, clown loaches grow very slow. of the 20+ 3" sizes that i bought, there are a few that grew at a tremendous rate, exceeding 6" total length in less than a year. just keep feeding them well, do weekly water changes and provide them a comfortable home.

[kin959]

It's a 180 gallon. Of the 32, 9 were bought at over 5" in size. The rest were bought at 3-4". The largest is nearly 8" in length.

[cloachlover]

how big is your tank?

have you had them all since they were small? how big is the biggest one? can see the bigger ones have the white stripe though the black that the really big loach get.

[cloachlover]

GREAT VID!!!

[jay733]

Wow, nice vid of your loaches

[kin959]

thanks. they're fun to watch when they're most active in the morning.
