Growth Speed for Clown loach

[CoCoFiShY]

How fast do clown loaches grow in a 60 gallon tank?

They grow pretty slow in any tank. In most aquarium settings, they never reach full growth.

I have 2 right now. They do grow really slow. Mine are about 3 inches. I got them about 2 years ago and they were about 1 inch back then.

Ive had mine for nearly a year and half now, and they have grown from 1.5" to 4" in that time. They are very slow growers.

Just to add to what Brian said about them not reaching full size, in the wild they grow to about 12", but in the aquarium 8" is a realistic size for these fish.

no matter what people say, they will flame you that the fish will get too big for any small sized aquarium which in a way i do and dont agree. The fish may never reach full potential of growth during the owners time period. I have 2 right now and thinking of getting 2 more for my 10 gallon. MAYBE one day if they hit 5" *doubtly* I will switch them out but they most likely never will in at least years from now. As for anything they are very SLOW growers...
