This clown wants to be the 2nd Marge. Gained lots of weight in just 5 months.

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

The clowns are looking good.

I don't remember if I asked this before, but How do you monitor the water quality for that tank? Do you track nitrates? I'd like to know about the filters too?

Ammonia 0 and nitrite 0

Nitrate, didn't get the testkit. With weekly water changes, i dont think it is necessary. Plus, it is quite hard to get nitrate testkits here and they dont come cheap. Still a student, on a tight budget.

As the little clowns grow, they are slowly transfered to other tanks.

It is filtered by a 2 feet biotower,30 gallon sump with 6kgs of biorings, 1 overhead filter on the sump and 1 internal filter(2500lph) :)

how warm is your tank? assuming its nice and warm for the clowns, those goldfish must grow quickly! do you breed them especially for the arowana?

Good question!

My tank is always on the low 30s...but for some reason, the goldfish survives...and yes, they do grow super fast.

I buy them for my arowana, breeding takes too much time,$ and effort.

I love my clowns more though. :D
