Hi Jerry, Glad to hear that you have managed to acquire some large Clowns - what size are they? We have around 45 Clowns which range in size from 3" up to nearly 12", plus a shoal of 25 large barbs which are very greedy. Because of the sheer numbers of Clowns, plus the barbs, we do have to feed quit...

Excellent Jim, maybe you should splash out on them anyway - it's only money after all :wink: and they would give you so much pleasure. And I hate to make you jealous, but we have both of those fish you mention in our shop right now! I really do hope that you manage to find some of the 'S-word' soon!...

Hey Andyroo, nice to see you at Loaches Online. :D That is a very interesting question that you have posed, and something which I have thought about a lot. I have quite a bit of experience in keeping Clowns, and through the years, have had to move house with mine numerous times. Once, when I was mov...

Homaloptera sp.
Hi all, There is a species of Homaloptera listed on my Vietnam supplier's list for next week, but have very little info to go on. They simply have it listed as 'Homaloptera sp.' and the only piece of further info I have managed to get is that they are collected from the River 'Nam cat tien' in the p...

As our Clown tank is relatively large and we have a lot of loaches to feed, we use a 1 litre plastic jug half filled with tank water, then add the frozen food and wait 15 mins or so for it to thaw before stirring and adding it to the tank. The sheer amount of flow in the tank distributes the food ve...

:D Thanks CK. Most of my Clown pictures are stored on Coppermine, where I have a number of albums for different species. Here is a link to my Clown album: http://www2.2cah.com/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=45 There may be the odd one or two pics taken at the shop where I work, but the majority are...

Hi there, That's a nice group of Clowns you have :) A 75 will not be big enough to house adult Clowns, you'll need a tank at least 6ft x 2ft x 2ft for that (over 600 litres in volume) as like Barbara has said - they do not only grow longer, but also much bulkier. Adult Clowns are very very fast and ...

Hi Sophie, This is something I can help with as I worked for ICI Paints (Dulux) for 10 years as a research scientist! Graeme has given you excellent advice, and is pretty much what Dulux used to recommend to customers posing the same question. So to reiterate: ventilate the room as best you can, cov...

Sounds great! Steve & I one day hope to build an indoor tropical pond for our Clowns. We have around 45 ranging from 3" up to 11.5" and they are in a 1000 litre tank at present. There is plenty of room at the moment, but we can see them needing more space in the future, as the smaller ones start to ...

Excellent Ana, the Clowns will thank you for it! :D If you get stuck installing it, just post a message on here and we'll see if we can help. They are usually pretty straightforward, but if you've never used an external before I can understand why it might seem a bit daunting. Once you've got it, le...
