O.k., I have a problem. I would like to someday get some of those cool little clown loaches, but I don't know how big they get. In my lfs, they say the fish gets to around 11", and some posts here have mentioned that too. However, other threads have stated that the fish only get to 6", and one of my fish books confirms this. Does anybody know for sure which it is? I would appreciate some help.

"in the wild" they can get upwards of 14-16 inches, but in the tank they max out at about 12. of course, you have to have a BIG tank to keep them in the first place, much less get them to max size...
