They are mixed right now between a 180 and 150 gallon tank. And as soon as I get a stand and a filter built, some will be moving into a 220.

Yeah. I am using a wireless remote flash (SB-600) with a Nikon D80 camera...and it is still not easy to get decent clown pics.

Thanks...it's my favorite. The only one that I have ever seen like him. I wish I was able to find more.

Almost forgot to mention that you have some excellent clowns.
Thank you. The shadows in the back were achieved by using an overhead flash. I am able to use an F32 aperture and a quick shutter speed, so only what the flash hits is in focus. It's a little harder to capture loaches since they like to stay near the bottom for the most part....until feeding.

They are soooo addictive. I started out with just a small group of 3 to take care of a snail problem and soon after the addiction kicked in.

I would guess around 9" or so, but he is horribly fat. :D
