Unless I've missed something marge is still around, right? How is she and how big is she now? She is such a beautiful Clown.

Hi Carol,
Yes, Marge is still very much here! She's swimming around like the queen of the tank as I type this, with all her stripy subordinates following her around. She's exactly 12" (30cm) TL, which is approx 1/2" longer than when I first acquired her. She is 5" tall. I will try and take some up to date pics this week for you all.
Best wishes,
Emma

Thank You so much for the reply and new pictures would be wonderful

How old is Marge?

I'm sorry, but I really don't know the answer to that question, as she was already a huge size when I was lucky enough to rehome her. Going by some of my other clowns that attained 9" within 15 years or so, I would assume she was over 20 years, but so many factors affect growth that it could be far from accurate. I wish I did know, but whoever gave her up left no information with the store. Stripes, the male who is 2nd in command and who was with her when I rehomed them, has now pretty much caught up with her length-wise, but he does not have the sheer body height.

Yes, please, new photos. Also interested in tank-specs: how big (gallons), flow etc... I think you've posted this before, but i'm lazy :)

Sorry everyone, I have been so busy recently. I will make an honest effort to capture some more pics over the next few weeks for you.

Emma

We know you are really busy and are appreciative of all the pics you do post for us I just didn't want the thread to get buried and forgotten so I bumped it Not trying to rush you at all.
