just because i dont have a high postycount doesnt mean anything.

i dont have snails, the clown loaches are the ONLY thing in the tank

remember people be nice, when i came here and started out with 0 posts, that doesnt mean i knew nothing about fish, i knew alot, and if the ritual could be explained, then maybe we can get an idea, and if no one believes you now, well, u can jump for joy when u have little fry, and are on every news station in the united states, how old are you? i ask because if u still go to school, then there may be a chance u can borrow a digi from them, it may not be free though, i dont know what other schools do, but i wish you luck and hope that they realy are breeding

im 21, so no school for me.

the news wouldnt care, because noone in my city even knows what a clown loach is

Sorry clown loachs rule, I find this kinda hard to beleive.

Do you know anyone with a digital camera, anyone at all. If you can get some pics up it would be great.

Yup, need some pics. If you can get one of the simple roll cameras (or whatever they are called) and scan pics and post them, even those will be acceptable. We dont want to be mean to you, but what you are claiming is simply unbelievable.

as unlikely as it is that these clown loaches are breeding, i dont' really think it's necessary for everyone to jump down loaches throat and accuse him/her of lying. sure proof would be nice, but why can't everyone congratulate loach before condemming the idea that they are breeding. IF they are breeding, i'll be the first to say congratulations.
Sin - most of us have more than one fishtank. you've posted a previous post from loach for an (as you put it) 'insanely stocked' 50 gallon. loach claims to have the clowns in a 120, so if there was a problem with the 50, why would the loaches be listed in that 'insane listing' anyway? also, what's to say that loach won't be upgrading that tank? the fish are still quite small, and have a little bit of room to grow before a much larger tank is required.
just thought perhaps we should listen before we start yelling at people.

I agree that some have been harsh. Though the stats are what the stats are...

From the Clown loach profile on this site:
Breeding: Has been bred in aquariums but it is extremely difficult.

From loaches.com:
They have not been bred in captivity; probably because they do not reach full sexual maturity.

A link to an article regarding breeding clown loaches:
http://www.loaches.com/loachbreeding.html

Even if he is incorrect, it is no reason to drag the poor fellow through the dirt. The purpose of this site is to help guide people who don't know any better....

All, as it is highly unlikely...it is not entirely impossible. Please check your facts before you address people in these threads which such disdain. You would not appreciate if the same were done to you.

Clown loaches rule,
If you could somehow get a picture, even if it is taking it with a regular camera and having a retail store put it on CD for you...that would be awesome. We would all love to see such an anomaly.

thankyou jamie.

there are alot of rude people here, and i dont think i will be comming back again.

There are alot of other forums where people try to help me, and not scream and yell at me like what is done here.

Is that a wave good bye John

Well folks, I don't think that this thread was very successful, meaning that nothing good was accomplished. Oh, quite the opposite. We don't need post counts or credibility to breed clown loaches (or any other fish), and we definitely should have treated this fella with more respect. If your aim was to scare off another member... You done good.

Clown loachs rule, please don't go. I realize that you have been treated less-than-lovingly on this thread, but it certainly isn't the norm. Plus, it didn't seem that your treatment was that harsh (to me). It is just that folks are skeptical of your claim, since the spawning of clown loaches has been so rarely accomplished. I really urge that you give this site a second chance.
