I was raising a total of 3 Clown Knives from 2". I'd had them for nearly a month. Last week one jumped out of the tank...once that happened one of my others (in the same tank) immediately stopped eating and finally keeled over last night.

The third and final one is still doing fine. I transferred it to a slightly larger tank for the hell of it...
 
damn tough luck dude
 
how fast was your going i got my at 2 1/2 in ones 3 in and the other is over double the size of the other. It has not been but 3weeks. Hes going more then a 1in a month. How fast where yours going?
 
Honestly, the one small baby I have has only grown maybe 1/2" since I bought him. He has a sh*tload of spots on him (my guess 15-20 per side.) My largest one (only ~11" right now) grew at about the same rate as yours, 1-2" per month. He's slowed down a lot though. Then my final knife, the one that's about 6-7", grew at half the large one's rate. I bought them the same day with maybe 1" difference between the two.
I fed them a lot though. Mainly feeders when they were younger. I kept around 25-50 feeders in the tank at all times...
 
How's that last one doing? Hope it's still hanging in there!
 
I wonder why that happens? When one jumps and the others stop eating. Like they know the lost....

I hope the last one does well. Good luck.
 
The last one's doing wonderfully. I moved him to a larger tank and he's still eating like there's no tomorrow. @ only 3" he's packing away nearly a full cube of frozen food per night...
