Odd Looking Clown?

[The-Wolf]

this clown is a sumatran clown loach at approx 8"
does he look odd to you?

A little I suppose, I thought they generally faded a lot by that size?

hes got funny marking on his lower face and where the tail starts

Looks normal to me...

May have a slightly larger fin than normal. Also not very fat.

Honestly Wolf when I first looked at it I believed it looked normal, but after staring at it some more I was thinking the markings around his face were a little off, but I have had clowns that looked like that. I then realized that the main difference between your clown and the ones I have kept is that he appears a bit stubby. I know they often get this appearance as they get up into the 6-8" range, but I think yours still looks a bit stubby compared to many I have seen/kept, but I guess it could be the pic.

What do you think looks funny, because when I first opened this topic I had the unmistakeable feeling I was missing something obvious.

I'm thinking the snout is longer than a 'normal' clown and the tail fin is bigger too.
maybe I'm just being silly, but then again mybe I'm not

Something does look off about it. Compared to my clowns and the numerous ones of various sizes I've seen but I can't quite make out what. Maybe it is the fins and snout but I'm not sure that's it. At 8" it's not a fat, cylindrical shaped body but still that doesn't fit either.

Have you asked the loaches.com folks? They'll probably be able to pinpoint it.
