Big Clown

[cmantis]

I just picked up a clown today and she is really big like 4" unfortunately her partner died before I went to get her (someone else called dibs and didn't show and the guy had them in the sump and something happened). She is so much bigger than any clown I have ever seen. I also hope to one day find her another male that will grow big also. Any ideas on how to find another really large clown? I am not sure what kind she is. She has two stripes and the back ones look more like saddles than stripes.

Anyone of these look like it?

The size makes me think it is a maroon or Clarkii.


Edit: didn't notice that you said it looked like it had a saddle. Did it look like this (they can be other colors than black)

More like the second link that you provided but she is orange. Its really too bad about her partner passing. He was a big boy too.

Ibluewater.com has large clowns that might work.
Talk to Bob, you will need a picture though

Ok pretty sure its a saddle back. It has darkened in color (was probably stressed from the move) and it has more pinkish stripes/saddles.

Can you post a pic so we can give you a positive ID? Thanks.

Yes I will try but right now she is sick. She has popeye and I don't know from what. I did a water change this morning. Anything else I can do for her? She is just hanging out on the bottom.

Poor baby, sounds like everything has been a bit too much on her
