fishboi Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 they got some in hollywood 3 kings. they also have a few ghost knifes and a African Black Knife which is really brown when u compare to the ghost knife but u dont normally see them around the LFS. not sure on price but u can always call up and ask which saves u a trip.

David R Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 not sure on price but u can always call up and ask which saves u a trip. Good idea! Perhaps the shops themselves might know whats in stock a little better than some random people who visited the shop few weeks ago....

sharn Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 clowns will often not tolerate each other as they get older so if you do keep two that arent babies its probably best to do it seperatly just in case. im not sure at what size they start to not get along though :-?

A.PROPHECY Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 ill sell my old one if i can find a new one, and nar i dont think theres any medication for a growth like this... people from the monster fish forums rekon its from glass swimmimg like just rubing itself against the glass to much..... :-? it just looks like a growth ,and i dont think that can be removed..... any suggestions?

fishboi Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 i am not sure i am with u on this A.PROPHECY, getting a new one to replace the old one just because he developed a growth seem pretty mean. why not talk to ur local vet and see what can be done if its just a growth i am sure it can be surgically removed.

A.PROPHECY Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 yea seems sad replacing him and all but i duno i just like all my fish to be in good health, and i rely like clowns , so id like a nice looking one for my collection, altho theres nothn wrong health wise with my clown, its just that i dnt like the look of it ..... its not evn that bad i spose i ges im just picky... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 and do you think vets do lil things like that? ,mite cost a fair bit , but maybe worth finding out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 and do you think vets do lil things like that? ,mite cost a fair bit , but maybe worth finding out yep i am sure they would and shouldn't cost more than a new fish . i see where ur coming from but a new "better looking" one is not going to be the same. they all have their personalty especially big fish. just dont want u to do anything u will regret. its a pet after all u wouldn't do it to ur cat or dog right?

sharn Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 also if you buy a small new one that hasnt got its adult spots it could grow up to be ugly pattern wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northland chic Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Our one has a funny jaw. I don't know what happened its almost like hes rubbed it along the stones and the under side of his jaw (almost looks like another mouth) pokes out now. He has been like it for a few of months it never gets fungus or anything. I thought it might heal over time but doesn't seem to be improving. He is perfectly fine, he still has a great appetite and doesn't seem to care so neither do I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 depends what the lump is i spose. if its scar tissue it probably wont grow, if is like a tumour type thing then it might Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northland chic Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Its like the bit that expands when he eats big things, where his gills meet you get what I mean. I think he tried to be a pig and his mouth was to full and hes hit it on the stones. But anyway I'm sorry about the bad pic, he took a while to come out and then the batteries in the camera died! Typical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 yep thats just like mine except the lump on mine seems a lil bigger lol yep ill giv him a chance then lol and ill let you kno mystic if im eva gona move him on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 sharn how would i kno if its scar tissue or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 i am not too up on fish and scar tissue :lol: oscars often get 'callus' type things which are just from rubbing against stones, glass etc, do you know if your clown does this? if the callus was frequently irritated by more digging etc it might turn into scar tissue (if thats possible) also if he ever hurt himself it might have healed and the scar left a little bump. if it hasnt gone away i would assume that it will stay there, it might get worse or better, theres not really any way to be 100%. its easy to see scars on the actual fishes body but its probably a bit harder to tell for sure if the lump is or isnt i know its not much help lol :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 lol wel i havent seen him scrap on the rocks or nethn but may hav with the previous owner, the lump looks healed and the skin is not broken or scrathed on it.... lol my oscar just swam into a rock last week and now hes got a lil lump jus unda his lip lol! man my fishes and lumps lol just my luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazara Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 My large clown jumped a lot at night, quite often woke us up as he slammed into the top of the fish tank and lifted the lid!!!! ... occasionally he did damage himself but he healed quickly. If you want them to grow quicker I recon mine grew proportionally to the abount of like food consumed! Also helped healing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
