I agree, they are hardly seen in fish stores. I use Big Al's in Canada, THey are looking into getting me another one. I recently lost mine. Not sure how old he was, he had a few owners before me. For 4 years he was mine. He died in November. 25", 8" tall and weighed almost 6 lbs. Gorgeous fish, lost of dots, full of personality. HE loved to scoop his tail and splash me. Always let me touch him, loved being scratched under the chin and showing off his swimming arobics. I see lots of other clown knives but a gold is more attractive to me. It may be awhile before I find another big one, so If I have to start small and grow one out, I am up for it.
