Went to Capitol aquarium Sacramento today, no huge clown

[bigpow]

was in the area for other things, dropped by hoping to see their huge clown loach (that was rumored to be 40yrs old), but looks like the old guy has passed away.

they had three huge ones in that giant acrylic tank; not any more? also, they normally have a huge stock of various loaches; anything good today?

last time I went there (4-5yrs ago), there was an old clown (with split pattern), easily over 15" - along with a bunch other smaller ones

today, only saw a few (maybe 3) young ones

I remember the giant Koi in the pond just inside the door. Are they still there? Too small a pond, IMO for that size of fish.

the koi pond and its occupants were there when I visited recently.
I'm assuming that the store isn't doing so well. There were some tanks with sick fish, some of the display tank even had bad mixes of fish, and some were undermaintained.
