I am glad that loach got such a good home with you Mike. I'd guess it is the biggest one in Canada.

Holy crap! And I thought my loaches were big, this guy looks like a black and orange football!

Have you guys notice, if you remember the video it is a plastic like Chen said because Mike glue it on the same spot hehehe. When I see it in person it is in the same spot.

im sure theres a bigger one hiding somewhere! i remember seeing a pic of a large 15 inch was it, also from canada. riverfront?

this guy is getting thicker but not much longer anymore. only thing thats growing is his belly lol

every time i turn the lights on he goes to that same spot. funny loach.

 

[slednex11]

I have had some loaches since 2003 and they are only about 7-8". A loach this size is a rare and impressive creature. I will have to upgrade my tank if they ever get that big. I have 17 loaches. What a bio-load that would be at 15" ea.

 

[exoticaquaria]

Thanks! Yea this guy eats a lot and excretes a lot of waste as well! I wonder how muh life hes got left. Anyone know the average life of cls?

I have one that is at least 12 and not near as large as yours. I'm thinking 25+.
