LMAO, fishhead when did your fish stop eating? He looks down to the bones. I hope this did not spread to your other fish before you treated it. That is no loach BTW..Off topic LOL

There is fights for dominance on occasion but no one fish gets bullied by the rest. The agression is spread out. It is a rough tank. The little eos is on top of the loach pecking order but afraid of the lelupis.

Interesting, thank you.

Reason I was asking is that I'm planning a larger tank -- probably about your size -- for mine. Clowns, Yoyo's and possibly Kubotais will move there from the current tanks, and the question if I can risk putting a couple of Modestas there as well... I kind of like them but did not dare so far.

Hi Mikev, you can post a new topic when you are ready so we dont hijack this topic. There are still lots of possibilities involved.

I just want to work out the differences between not growing at all and slow growing. Basically if my clown hasnt grown in length, height and girth, then that may be an issue, IF your 3.5" clown hasn't grown as much as the other two 13 year old clowns in length, but has grown in girth and height over that time.
The 3.5" fish is pretty plump, but it never really grew significantly in height or girth, compared with the others. It certainly couldn't be described as skinny. I'll have to look out some photos for comparison when I get a free moment.

Yea me too, my oldest fish, 12yrs + however long it took him to grow to 2 inches is actually the smallest, about 5 inches. I am not sure how old the largest clown is since I bought him at 6 inches. he is close to a foot now.
