They're so adoreable...

[mamaschild]

Thanks My BABIES :)

sweet.
i have a 180 cycling and i'm trying to get a 125 upstairs... it's going to be ontop of a wall and we're trying to see if the wall can carry the load.

Lovely pics, thanks for sharing mamaschild!

How big are the loaches in the tank? The biggest one looks really big and healthy! How long have you these loaches? I'm still new to the hobby, but I wish one day, my clowns will reach about the same size!

Thanks, ey

Albert (monster) is over 15 yrs old, but I've only had him for about 2 years. I adopted him and 3 others from the original owner on the promise that I would keep him posted on how they are doing

I've had my original 5 for over 4 years. They are my joy. Here's one of my favorite pics of Albert....gives you an idea of his size (~10" sans tail)

A kiss & a belly rub! Very, very cute mamaschild.

Excellent pictures! Even though I've seen that one of Albert feeding out of your hand before, I can never see it too many times. That's a lovely loach, and I wish my monsters were as tame as that!

great pics mamaschild

like Emma said, I never tire of seeing pics of big Albert and the gang, thanks for sharing those. something for us little 4-5" clown owners to aspire to.

giddy up.

Thanks everyone for the VERY kind words. My Clowns are my Joy, as I said above. I fell HARD for them when I first started keeping fish. I bought 2, knowing nothing about them, and lost them both

I decided then and there that I would NOT get more until I had the proper knowledge and place for them. When I got my 80g, I decided it was time and got 4 babies. About 3 months later, hubby and I were in the LFS and he spotted one alone in a tank.....well, he couldn't have that, so we brought him home I still have those 5 and am proud to say they are happy and healthy and growing.

When we got Albert and his 3 friends, we decided the time had come for a bigger tank. When I found the 125g, tank only, in the classifieds for $175, I jumped on it. Hubby was pleased with the buy, so took me out and bought me a stand and canopy for it I have a GREAT Hubby :)

Now I have added 2 more to the group, thanks to Heather here on the board. She posted that she was moving and need to rehome her 2 Clowns and her Kubotai......so they have joined my group.

I'm sorry to ramble, but it's hard not to with something so CUTE

[poeticpyro]

any kubotai pics???

[mamaschild]

Not yet....he hid out for the first couple days, but has joined in the fun. I tried last night, but the Pingi's were being nosey and kept getting in the way

[poeticpyro]

darn...

i'm looking at getting three... they're so expensive here... $20 a fish, but it's worth every penny, they're SO CUTE!! how many clowns could i put in a 125gal... i'll also have 3-yo-yos... right now the clowns are maybe 3" they're so cute... two normal and two abnormal, they won't hold still for me to get pictures and right now they're hungry.
