HI,
I ve noticed that any new clown is fish bait to any older bigger clown be it clarki, to the dreaded tiger marrons.
They will adapt or stress to the point they stop eating hide and even get ich.
I also noticed that the bigger the clowns at the LPS the better they adapt, many of the LPS are selling small schooling baby clowns who are ill prepared for a 5 in adult clarki who hates any new fiish in his tank.
In the future I will cycle the new clowns as a group and not add any newbies.
I do have a smaller 37 gal tall that has some smaller tomato clowns as they get larger they may move up to the larger tank or just stay in the 37.Those clowns have teeth..
Doug
