Freshwater Nemo?

[vanvran]

Hi, has anyone ever seen a tropical freshwater fish that looks sort of like a tomato clown/Nemo type fish? I saw one at PETCO long ago, now when I can get one, none of my LFS know what I'm talking about.

Clown Loach?

Could have been a dodgy LFS just claiming that the clown fish was "acclimatised" to FW

Thanks, but no, not a puffer--I know what they are -- very cool ornery little fishies!

Clown loaches grow to 12 inches, although slowly, and appreciate the company of their own kind. Small ones do well in a 4 foot tank, but many people say they need at least a 6 foot tank when fully grown.
