14” Clown Loach in UK

I agree with Cory, most wild fish are typically carrying some type/amount of parasite load. That, and as previously stated I would guess that those loaches shown above are all males. I have seen wild females collected in Sumatra, with photos taken along the shoreline of the Musi River, and they look just like my tank raised female. Fat and sassy!
So what is the situation with large wild fish appearing for sale ?
There is a seller on facebook promoting their sale:

I was surprised, and not in a good way, because I thought the mature breeding stock is being protected officially at least.
That would seem to be a reasonable conservation measure but is it being undermined ?

Maybe this one countsSounds fishy to me...
Would love to see it, I've never seen a "beyond reasonable doubt" pic of a CL over 12".
How does that show "beyond reasonable doubt" ?
Not saying I doubt as it looked awesome, but I am being reasonable to ask for the measurement to be claimed and shown.

Haha yep, that's what I mean. No doubting it's an absolute monster clown, but without something of a known size to show scale I wouldn't want to guess the exact size. I would be surprised if it was less than 12" though!
