Clown Knife Growing out of Cave

[Mercury2234]

Hi all,

I have a 8-9" ClownKnife...doing fine and all, but I am noticing he is outgrowing his cave (some thin scratches). At what point do you guys just let your CK be without the cave?

I understand its best for them to hide when they are young, but at how big do you say..."NO MAS!" (no more).

I'd say go ahead and start now. Unless you have something big enough for him. I like my fish out in the open so they arent establishing tank space to themselves and then start to get aggressive to other fish.
