Once I can find them, I want to put a clown knife, royal knife, albino clown, bronze/black knife, and a golden knife together...I just can't find any small enough...(I'm lookin' for ones around the 2-3" mark as that's the size of my smallest heavily spotted clown knife right now...)

Already posted this elsewhere but one of the few decent pics of my CK. The LFS had it in a relatively small tank with a bunch of other fish so I rescued him. The lower fins are tore up but time will heal it. Will be a beautiful CK. :)

The larger clown knife has been with me for about 3 years or so and loves pelleted food. The other clown i just rescued about 5 months ago and he only has one eye but he fares just fine. The royal i have had for a while I'm not sure how long but he's a beast. I'm given him atleast 1 mouse a day. Now the ABA ABA is a different story. Not a common tank buster and I have learned why. I have had him for going on 3 years atleast and he is getting bigger slowly. There is a whole story there but I'll wait till I get better pictures before I tell it.

It's a wonderful day. I did it again. The detailed videos of my Male clown and the same female from the first time are breeding. It will be a few days till I get it posted but look forward to it. If you thought the videos of the royal and her were cool these will blow your mind. I have courting, nest building, a defensive male, the daily growth of her stomach as she begins to ovulate, you know all the stuff no one has ever seen before. stay tuned, it's worth the wait......
