I bought them around 2" and kept them in a 30 gal.- they grew to about 5" after maybe 6 months more or less. http://www.fishprofiles.com/site/aquarank.aspx

I haven't noticed any growth since I got them but they are good eaters One thing I did notice is that the 2 my spouse bought for me at PetSmart have much deeper-colored black stripes than the 1 I ordered online. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I have only one left from the three. I think the survivor fretted as it did not eat or come out of its cave for three weeks.

uniqueyat Hobbyist Posts: 58 Kudos: 41 Votes: 22 Registered: 25-Sep-2005	I just got my first clown yesterday and when I introduced it to my community tank one of my female swordtails was picking on him and biting him. So this morning I went to feed the fish and I cant find the clown anywhere! I know that they like to hide and burrow, but what do they normally burrow in and was it possible for my fish to eat him in like 8 hours with no trace of any bones or anything? Please help. Thanks

I had had them for 18+ years I now have only one left. That is my fear Keith It must be very hard to lose fish that you've had for so long I have 5 for about 8 months, 3 I bought and 2 more were given to me by someone who had to move. They were all slightly different in size (around 2inch) but they all look to be about the same size now(5 inch). They never fail to make me laugh at their antics
