Perhaps you should get another clown?
I will have to advise against the norm here:
Clown loaches do get big. But, it can take them years to get there. My biggest clown is 4 years old and only just pushing 5 inches. They take a while to mature, and you will have plenty of time to save up etc for a new tank. My best advice on this is to start a "Clown Loach Account" in a piggy bank and throw your daily change in there til it maxes out and you can buy a new tank.

you think clowns over kuhlis?
my clown loach is about 4" - I've had him five years or so
I really really like kuhli loaches though
I guess i could have both

Clowns are always on the top of my list. :P
They need to be kept in a minimal of 3 to keep their stress down and immunity up, 5 so they'll be more active, and 5+ to keep them 100% happy. :P

I do love clowns
they're so goofy
how many do you think I could fit in my current tank?
I mean - after a certain number, being crowded will cause as much stress as not having enough buddies to swim with

Ah... 33 long. The ideal tank to work with. :P
That's professional. XD
I'd say not how many you can fit, but how many can comfortably live in there. :O
4-5 1-2 inch clowns should do. Just make sure there's a lot of water flow.

Someone GAVE me :-) a 55 gallon tank and stand yesterday... and I can't decide whether to make it a tank for Jeffy and get him a companion goldfish, or save it for Mordecai & Miriam when they are older. Sigh.... decisions decisions!!!
