Clown fan sayin hello.

HI there folks at Loaches online. I've been using your site as a resource for my clown loaches for awhile now, saw your new forum and thought I'd say hello.
Hello.
I've got a group of 5 clown loaches in a 75g tank. Had them almost a year and really glad I got em. really enjoy their silly antics and hoping all goes well and I can grow them to some size. all bout 2" when I got them, range from 3-4" now as the 2 dominant ones are putting on size much faster, and the omega fella noticeably smaller than the others.
One unusual feature about my clowns is one has the 4-stripe pattern thats a little different. thats him in my avatar. he's also the slowest grower, maybe odd-man out a bit.
anyway, wanted to say your indexes and so forth have been an excellent resource for helping raise my clowns, and I hope your forum continues to grow. I'm active on an Oscar forum, have an O also, and know more about them than loaches for sure, so I know how much you can learn from others experiences on these forums.
so I'll go have a look around.
Here's a pic of most of the gang:
and have a little trio of botia striata(?) "zebra" loaches in a small tank with a Ram cichlid:
that's the loach collection for now, future plans are 10-15 clown gang in their own 75 or so.
quick question as I have read different things:
Whats the average max size that home aquarium clowns will reach, and how long does it take them to attain max size? (just averages, not gonna hold ya to it or anything! )
thanks.
