Now that got your attention.

This was taken about eight years ago of the Bermise X Siamese Tortershell Cat playing with the water as I was changing it.

I had a very close look and to my supprise I say the same clowns I have today (Bottom LH corner) they appear to be about 2-3 ins in length now eight years later they are 5-6&1/2 ins.

Considering there growing rate at about 1/2 ins a year when very young that would make them at a good guess 14 yld and still going very strong. I put this down to all the mixed food and a good enviromental tanks for them.

Look at the bottom LH corner for the small clown loaches.

I did say "growing rate at about 1/2 ins a year when very young" and that is only a guesstamatic. I think it was a previous poster stated that not me.

That was the old 4ft back drop Marine tank I had. It final cracked and my insurance payed up fixed glass breakage. Now the 5ft.

The cat is still going strong sleeps all day when not going crazy in the garden, and at night sleeps between both of us. This was a habbit she developed from the first night I rescued her from a rundown pet shop
