We are very lucky here in Southern Ontario.
Our local Big Al's Aquarium Services here in Kitchener had these barbs on sale for $9.99
They were between 5 and 8 cm (2 and 3 inches)
I already have 5 and have no tank space for more, so I hope others snapped them up
Here is one I was showing in the Brantford Aquarium Society Show this past weekend:

It is at least 12cm (5 inches) total length
Came in 2nd in the Cyprinid Class
I did not enter any loaches in the show because there was no separate class for them, they were to be entered in the "Other Scavengers" class.
Sometimes there is a combined class for Loaches and Sharks in some shows, but I am happier when Loaches have their own class
