so i have had this clown knife for not quite a year. grew it up from 4 inches to about 14. think has always been a good fish in the 220.

well over the last week it began to show some damage. at first i thought it had to be the one eyed florida gar. it isnt the most graceful thing when it comes to eating, and with one eye it is at a disadvantage. besides the silver arowanna doesnt bother anything, the silver dat is too small, as is the Peacock bass. but there is that one other fish.

well i caught thta one other fish in the act today. Hannible, the bastardized golden dorado, was taking pop shots. well i am hoping to be able to heal up and save the clown. there is some pretty nasty damage, small chuncks of flesh missing.

salt, melafix, no stress, low light and some hoping and praying. i will try to update again in a few days
 
:( I know that has got to be hard on you. So sorry! I love mine better than any fish I have ever owened. Keep us posted.:arapaimag
 
well my clown to a leap of faith on friday. may he rip
 
So sorry. But don't let this stop you from having a Clown if your heart so desires. It was a damn hard lesion to learn, now do it different. That way you will have what you want and his life served a triple purpose, your happiness and your learning, to continue your happiness. Anyway it goes you learned and gained from the experience. Best of luck in the future.
