Before you do, be sure and get Santa to tell you how large a clown loach
will get... most people are unaware that they get big... fast.

If you are looking for a more reasonably sized snail eater, get a trio of
Yo-Yo loaches. They stay small and are great snail eaters.

I've had my eight clowns for knocking on 4 years and they still haven't got
past 3 inches, but they do have I believe a life span of 15 years +
