Sounds like he needs to be put in his place by a bigger fish!!! As he is only 4" he could get a telling off by someone three times his size if he was rehomed.

I have Kusuri wormer, Maracide concentrate & Maracyn plus which I buy on eBay but there may be other/better products in the UK that I don't know about.

Beautiful tank & fish Doc.

I can only speak from personal experience but I have never had a problem when adding new clowns to my school. Like yourself I can't resist the ones with unusual markings, I have them ranging from 2" to 10" all living together and the only fights that break out are between the main group that have be...

Well, these guys have been together for over a week now and I have noticed no injuries to any of the fish. The only squabbling has been within same species groups and even this has been light. I recorded them all going loopy over a chunk of cucumber yesterday: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9JUdx...

i hope all is OK for the time being - i would be a bit wary of the modesta. sorry to hear you had an emergency. will you be able to set up another tank again for them in the future, or was this a more permanent tank merge? best wishes Hopefully not much to worry about then. The Modesta have control...

I have a large piece of pvc waste pipe in one of my tanks, I have placed a large piece of flat bogwood in front of it to cover it up which has added extra nooks & crannies for the smaller guys. It is partially buried in the sand (probably 1" of sand covering the bottom of it) which maybe helps it fe...

Hi all, I have a question for you, can many different types of loach live together happily? I have had an emergency with a tank which has led me to mix two of my loach communities in the one tank. Previously I had my Clowns, Modesta & YoYos in one tank and my Sids, Kubs & Striata in another, for the...

First up are my two 9" boys, all my clowns are now very settled in their new home (please excuse the water marks). http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq355/astait/100_4881.jpg http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq355/astait/100_4885.jpg http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq355/astait/100_4884.jpg ht...

Nice find!!!

Beautiful markings.

It was a customer return but it had been there a very long time also. Apparantly it had seen many other medium sized clowns come & go without anyone ever buying it!!! Not sure why at only £30

I visited a shop in Farnham for the first time today and found an 8" clown for sale for under £30 so I just had to buy her, she is very chunky & healthy looking: -

I've got a funky one too.
