Great find on them! I agree with what other people said, they will be completely different once you have a larger tank.
well, they all made it to the big tank with great success! They are eating just about anything I throw in the tank and competing with bigger fish for food now. They usually school in a group of about 20 or so (too fast to take an accurate count), with the others hiding out. I will post pics of them soon!

Yes it is. I only added salt when I first got them. No continuing doses.
Here is a photo of about half of the school scavenging at the end of feeding time. For size reference: that's a 5" discus, 5" angelfish, 5" geophagus, 5"+ Sevrum, and 7" L75 pleco.
Hi, good to hear that your clowns are out & about now.
Can you please give me some advise on how did you get them to start to swimm around, i just got 4 more myself and two of them are 4-5 inches but keeps on hiding all day and making my previous 3 clowns to go shy as well. my tank is 6x2x2 with 3 large driftwood, they only hide in one as the other 2 has no place to hide, but i dont understand why they not comming out even to feed, just see 2 or 3 at a time. It would be much appreciated if you can give me some closure. Thanks
