where to buy 12"+ loaches

[shoefreak03]

Not to sound ignorant or anything (even though I am ) what are 'ST'?
And 'dats'?

Sounds like a gigantic tank in the works.

......................

So checking out the dats and tigrinus and adding clowns, I guess you are going for a striped theme, then, eh?

i never really thought about it like that. lol... unless i can get myself some irregular patterns CLs..

thanks...so you think it was just the fish being hard to take care of or was it his stock? do you still own the ones you got from the seller? if you dont want to talk over the forum, please PM me in private.

Thanks

I would like to make a clarification for one of the great mods we have here who has been deleting some of my posts here on this thread-

The links of Clown Loach exporters I posted were completely legal. The dealers I linked to were in Singapore and Bangkok.

The only clown loach export size limit ban is in Indonesia.

Singapore and Bangkok are not part of Indonesia so those export laws do not apply there.

If you're deleting my posts for some other reason, would you please let me know why in a PM.
Thankyou.

I think they import great clown loaches at The Fishery of Lousiville. They all looked perfectly fine when I 1st got them, but 2 of the clowns wasted away earlier this year, and since I've been having the same problem with 2 others. These 2 clowns will only eat snails and worm type foods, and they seem be getting skinnier. I've treated them for internal parasites a few times already and I'm currently treating one of them with Levamisole, but that's another story that I'm saving for another thread.

Hi,
Thanks for all your info and input. Appreciate it greatly. i would get them from overseas but i really don't want to apply for an import license and have to clear customs and deal with F&W once fish arrives. maybe if i am all out of options.
