tank mates for CK

[jack dempsey chan]

i just got a 4in CK and put it in my 50g with 2 JDs 2 convicts and a small red devil and over night they beat him up. Are these good tank mates?

No. You need to get him with another group of fish or his days are numbered. I have my clown in with an african black knife and a black ghost knife, along with a tire track and senegal. They all get along. You have your clown in with cichlids. That's a bad mixture.

those all look like food to me.

also you have a 4 incher in a 50g. how long do you plan on that tank for your fish? my clown knife grew from 4ish inches to 15+ in like 9 months.

mine lives with arowana, florida gar, flagtail, silver dollars, bichirs and huge catfishes.

they do best with other similar size (2' to 3') peaceful fish such as arowana, large bichirs, datnoids; stuff like that. by the way your gonna need a way bigger tank for a clown.
