I was at Petco with a couple buddies two days ago, and we were looking around (they just started carrying SW). We were about ready to go when I saw a huge Clown Loach in a large tank alone with a cichlid of some kind. My friends were bugging me to leave but I asked the lady how much for the clown loach.
She said "oh... I don't think you want that fish". I inquired as to why not, and she mentioned something about it being a fin nipper, that it would eat any fish you put in with it, and it will double in size within a month. Needless to say I was dumbfounded. At this point I was 99% positive she had her facts mixed up profoundly.
So I asked her "how much". She said, "It's a freebie".
Worth the risk to me :D I took him home, put him in my FW tank, and he hasn't been a problem yet. Beautiful fish. I feel lucky considering the bigger clown loaches are extremely pricey around here.
