hey everyone went on a fish shopping trip to denver today and I found the one fish I wanted more than anything to add as a tank mate for my silver aro.. a Royal Clown Knife. I found him at a little fish shop that an asian couple owns. he is about 5" long and quite beat up from a freshwater barracuda but for $25.00 I couldn't pass it up. now I just have to get him off of feeders.. that should be fun.

Let me know how you get it done.....Nice fish...it's cutting edge

I think I will try getting him at least on night crawlers first. that way less chance of desease. then get him on frozen krill if possible. does anyone know if those scratches will go away as he heals? he was one of the better looking fish in the group just hope he turns out stunning.

the two clown knives i've kept recovered fully from any damage done by a jardini ... but died of stress

that sucks I hope I can keep him alive and healing. thanks for the reply

As dedicated as you are to your fish, i am sure he will recover nicely. Good luck getting him off feeders. I wasn't very succesful with my regular clown knives.

thanks I will give it all I got. but I would rather loose him early on because he won't eat than to loose all my fish to a feeder disease.. its kind of harsh but its reality. I think I can pull it off though just going to take some persistance.. thanks again
