thanx...as for the dats...i had 5 then one went missing...the bass orino chases them around now, but didn't before...it only does it just before feeding time...it has alot of things to mess with...like 4 dats, 5 bichirs, a pleco, an angelfish...it is more laid back then my mono i sold...

thanx...it was why i got it...i like the big clean spots as 90% of the cks i see are broken spots...they still look good, but i think i like the 'clean look' more...
also since it has hit 15"+ it is by far the laziest fish i have ever seen in my life...it doesn't even like to chew its food...it will spit out larger chuncks that it could eat, but wants to just swallow a whole smaller chunk as it is less work...
ok how do you guys get them to get soo big? my ck only got 7" long!!! yours is absolutely beautiful, why doesn't he eat the tiger dats? they just seem soooo little...
That looks really sharp. I was set on a royal someday, but now I'm not so sure.
Did yours have a dorsal fin? Could have been a brown.
no he was a clean spotted clown knife just like the one in the pix. he was kept in a 300 gallon before i bought him, the guy who owned him said he was 4 years old and he thought he was a runt, so into the show tank he went

thanx...i have had one smaller dat go missing, but idk who it was as it is a dangerous tank for a small fish...this ck is i think, to lazy to eat one...unless it swam into its mouth and reached out to move the cks mouth inorder to chew itself...this ck wont even chase minnows anymore...it just swims over to the spot were the food falls and picks the smaller pices as to not work to hard and eats until it is gonna expload...then it goes and sits on the bottom in its spot...it surfaces some times and will "do a lap" but it is a lazy one...

it could have been a runt...mine stopped at 7" or so when it was in a 55gal...then i put it in the 180gal boom its a beasty...
i have had this knife less then a year in my possetion and it was at the lfs for a few monthes to go from 3" to 5-6"...then off to my house...i can pet it and when i am moving things around it comes to my hand and will rub on me...
ya we figured he was a runt cause in the 300 there where 5 other ck's that got 12+ inches in the time he was in their, so we think he was a runt... yours is absolutely stuning they are sooooo cool, mine was really lazy too, unless we dropped in fedders he just drifted around
