Not to be that guy, but you do know loaches are not cyprinids, right?

Hey, that web page says cyprinids range in size from around 1 in up to 1 ft!? Black Sharks Can reach 24 inches in size whats up with that!? Im pretty sure Tinfoil Barbs are cyprinids too right? Dont they also go beyond 1ft?!
Heh, you can't trust everything you read! Loaches are in the families Cobitidae and Homalopteridae; cyprinids are the family Cyprinidae (minnows and carps). They are related to one another, but are not the same thing. These three families plus the suckers (Catostomidae) and the Chinese algae eaters (Gyrinocheilidae) form the order Cypriniformes. So if you said "loaches and other cypriniforms", you would be correct.
Many cyprinids reach well over a foot; some Ptychocheilus (pikeminnows) can reach six feet, and some carps are nearly as long and much more massive.

I recently took "zipper" the CAE to the LFS, but here he is anyway. I'll try to get pictures of my dojo loaches to post later.
