I have never seen a large clown with strange markings, is this just me?
Please excuse the dirty glass and water...

Interesting. In the shops these days, I have noticed that there seems to be a developing co-relation between the `unusual' markings and the snub nose/elephantine forehead* look. They also seem more prone to looking a bit skinny and runted (though perhaps not parasitized?) . Large ones....haven't seen any.. though the one at the top of this thread is def. approaching it. Maybe there aren't any old captive/hormonal -bred `sporty' ones like this yet, since this practice hasn't gone on that long?redshark1 wrote:I was in my LFS recently and there was a tank full of young Clown Loach, several of which had unusual markings and also, I noticed, there were some with snub noses (rounded severely short noses instead of the usual long pointed ones).
The staff member, who is very knowledgeable indeed and who I know well, stated that they were captive bred using hormone treatment. He had also noted that the fish were imperfect in various ways.
