Clowns-6 is a group and more is never too many, providing the aquarium is large enough.

It does seem to be at least two different species.

They are around 3 1/2" to 4"

It's great to see them settling in so well. 8) Some remind me of my S. pulchra, which I adored. Seeing as they arrived in such good condition, I'm going to try and get some more for next week if the supplier still has them.

I have Acanthocobitis urophthalmus coming in tomorrow night (yay!) so you and Graeme missed those by only a few days. I hope they turn out to be what they claim they are.
