There's 8 of them total. 7 of them are pretty 'fat' but 1 of them was small for the longest time. Didn't think he was gonna pull through but he's starting to eat now.. he went about 4 weeks when he did not eat anything at all and as a result is tinier still than th rest. he's adding some amss now though so it's good.
They're in with 4 juvie escondido, 1 gt, 4 fancy plecs, and 3 striped peacock eels right now.
2 50% water changes each week and I feed small amounts to everyone about 4-5 times a day. Diet ranges from hikari gold sinking, OSI flakes, algae wafers, frozen bloodworms, and frozen mysis shrimp.
Nice zebras? how big?
They are slow growers, at my place, they grew from 1.5-3.5" in nearly 2.5years, I have 6 of em....do they get any bigger?

i have two clowns.. but they dont seem to grow much... i guess i'll start feedin them more of a meaty diet... rather than just algae walfers..

Mine aren't slow growing at all, much to the contrary of all the reports I have seen. They wre 1.5-2" when I initially got them I think and are now easily at the 3.5" TL mark. Good diet and constant water changes maybe? I don't know.
