Lovely clown, Marcos. And I'd agree it looks more male than female, though it may just be a 'slim' lady. Time will tell under your good care.
Nice save.

Thanks all,
He is not 100% home yet. On the shop lights went on at 8 am and off at 6 pm. Here, lights are from 1:30 to 11:30pm plus moon light up to 3:30am.
He is most active in the morning just after sunrise, while lights are still off. I got this few new pictures today:

Not around. The petshop seller called me on my cell phone to hurry up to there because power were already off as they would close doors forever that evening (and fish was still there!).crazy loaches wrote:and you were around when they were closing shop.
If he is a lady he will grow fat soon as all others here are!shari2 wrote:And I'd agree it looks more male than female, though it may just be a 'slim' lady. Time will tell under your good care.

Marge will be most flattered!
We are not entirely sure how old Marge is, as we rehomed her. Someone who used to write on LOL very kindly gave us a tip-off that another store had some huge clowns in one of their tanks which had just been bought in by a customer. Unfortunately, the store did not think to ask how long the guy had kept them for (which would be the first question I would have asked!). However, another of my clowns which I have had since she was small is now 14+ years old and is 9" TL. Marge is 12" TL, so she has got to be well over 15 years. But various conditions affect size (size of tank, diet, frequency of water changes etc etc) so we will never know for sure.

This one I got lived 10 years on a 7' tank and last 2 years at the fish shop on a 4' (some 300 liters) tank. Hope I have enought room for him as my tank is becoming a bit crowed but, comparing with your results, seams to match, at least aproximatelly, isn´t it?Unfortunately, the store did not think to ask how long the guy had kept them for (which would be the first question I would have asked!)
Marge: 15+ years - 12"
Stripes(?): 14+ years - 9"
Mine: 12 years - 7"
They do indeed!But various conditions affect size (size of tank, diet, frequency of water changes etc etc) so we will never know for sure.

Hi Robert,
The first two kubs are ok. They swim together and interact very well with Clowns.
The last one I got (remember I had ordered 5 on a shop and they started dieing during quarentine?) last about a week here and died as well as other 4. Since that I have only that first two. Can´t find Kubs as easy as Clowns or YoYos. I´m also looking for striatas a long time but never find them.
Good to talk to you.
Marcos

yesterday toronto (the largest city in canada) had a poweroutage. I don't know how long it was for.
An overstocked tank can go bad very quickly if the power goes out or a filter stops working etc...
I am begining to think the old 1 inch a gallon rule (as weak as it is anyways) should be changed to 1 inch per two gallons.
over filter and under stock
