The shape is different (ducks have no barbels), and the size is at least medium. :wink:

Nice movie. :D

Here we go again. Sophie was having a joke with me, angelfish83. :roll:

This was Marge and Stripes just over a year ago before they were added to the tank, alongside a standard 30cm (12") ruler:

We think they have grown slightly since then.

Thanks Emma! thats a great film :D she is quite an amazing fish. i hadnt realised quite what a speedy hunk of muscle she is.

i reckon in a duck was to come across her, the duck would shift it pretty quick in the other direction.

Marge is becoming quite the box office draw.
Might we expect a sequel sometime in the future?

Emma, from the picture you took from a bird's eye point of view, Marge and Stripes don't look that large, but the video definitely amplifies their size more. How many clowns do you keep together in that tank with Marge ande Stripes? Have you caught them lying in a big pile yet? :P Like Graeme, I look forward to another sequel.

Suya1, the tank is 1000 litres, and we have approx 40 Clown loaches in there, ranging from 3" up to 12". Most of the day the tank looks empty, as they all hide together amongst the extra-large pieces of bogwood. But come 9pm or so, they are all out, dancing up and down in anticipation of their food. Some of them I've had for around 14 years now.
