Instead of opening another thread I thought I would revitalise this old thread of mine

Well a year on and things change LOL namely the Tank I started with a Juwel Trigon 190 Its now a Juwel Trigon 350 lol And I am going to change it again in February mad hey I know :rolleyes: :S

Its a long story but the short version is that in the 14 months I have sort of become a Clown Loach nut :lol: :hyper:

I have 8 of them they are very young the largest Maggie is close to 3 inches and Winston is nearly 2 and 1/2 inches the rest range down to about 1 1/4 inch (Agamemnon and Ginchin) for the 2 smallest anyway after buying them and talking to a few people I realised I had made the same mistake alot of people make the 190 was woefully to small for them so I bought A 350 larger but still a bit small and definitely the wrong shape for a Clown Loach so I think a Juwel vision 460 will be next I absolutley love Juwel tanks and the angeled fronts my dream is to have a 6ft x2x2 or bigger river set up which is really the only way to go IN MY HUMMBLE OPINION so the guys can stretch there fins.

I have stored the 190 and will store the 350 I have plans for the future, the 190 there may be a marine tank and for the 350 I don't know maybe a Discus tank but that's for the future and a new home hopefully 2 years time untill then the wife (she who must be obeyed) says one tank in the flat and one tank only its a veritable miracle I have got her to allow me to change the size of tanks thus far :no: :nod:

Actually its quite simple lol she knows how devoted I am to my Loaches and all I have to do is drop my head and say "i am thinking of finding a new home for them as its not fair to keep them anymore in such a small tank" she thinks my fish keeping is the only thing keeping me from turning into a complete Victor Meldrew as I get older :angry: sometimes I can be pure evil :hey:

Any way here's some more pictures and films from my tank the first 3 are of a a couple of female Platy's that have to go I have some one who maybe interested so here they are not to be put with males as they are 2 very fertile lady's (hence the reason they must go) I just cant be doing with a Platy invasion infact shortly I will be advertising some in the live stock section.

Female Platy's:

What background is that in the first post? Is it poster or a 3D thing?
 
thats a nice tank, i should be getting one of the first tanks early next year. ^^i was gonna ask the same question.
 
How big do clown laoches get?

It really depends on there environment and care I have only kept them for just over a year so cannot speak from experience I have read they can reach 16 inches in length and they can get quite bulky a link to a good source of information on Clown Loach:
