Clown Knife Tankmates

[lungfishlover]

a friend of mine had a CK along with a jag, jack dempsey, green terror and a buttikofferi - it got bullied from day one. not by the buttikofferi or jag but the jack dempsey and green terror would chase it endlessly. i dont think it helped that the CK didnt have its own hiding spot which i feel they need to be happy. possibly would of been a different story had the CK been in the tank first. as it happens the cichlids had already established territories

How big is the tank, Clowns can be very aggressive in too small tanks, mine completely mellowed out once he moved to the 180. He is currently 19" and living with some fish as small as 6-7"

My CK is currently in a 25gal, till he gets bigger then he'll be moved to my 180gal with the rest

Here's an updated pic of my CK in my 180gal with the rest of the fish either then the Jack Dempsey (since it died on me).

My CK is now 8-9" big already.
