Loaches Online Forum

As the title says, we're all heard the stories, but I'm yet to see any photographic evidence of a clown loach that is over 12". This pic of Marge is about the only pic of a monster clown I've ever seen with a ruler or something showing scale. I have seen a pic of a large loach being held across two hands, but its hard to tell just how big it really is.
Even a shot of a solid 12"er would be nice, Emma I know you said you doubt Marge is the largest ever recorded, but I haven't seen solid proof of anything bigger. Did you take a pic of her with a tape measure when she passed to get a final measurement?

Weren't clowns originally food fish? I'm sure hte ones caught in the wild and eaten were probably > 12"

Hi David,

Yes, I did get a few final photographs of Marge, some of her against a ruler and some of her in my hands. At the moment I can't even bear to look at them, let alone upload them, so I apologise for not being able to add them here. She was 12" from the end of her nose to the tip of her tail.

I did not know marge had passed! Oh how sad. Emma I'm so sorry.
