I was just checking my records and noticed my Lemonpeel angel is over 11 years old. Pretty good, I'd say. He's spent all his life in the same 55 gallon tank with no skimmer or filtration. Took off the Bak- Pak skimmer over 8 years ago and never looked back. Just live rock and lots of powerheads. Normal output lighting only. Mushrooms and GSP's taking over the tank. Tankmates include a blenny, coral bannded shrimp, and a yellow tailed damsel, though they are all only 5 years old. Can't get a more basic tank than that. i bought a used 125g tank with a cinnemon clown in 1993. the previous owner had the tank/clown for 7 years before i got it, and i still have both. |

That is an old clown. You must be doing something right. I just feed mine flake 90% of the time. |

Marine fish seem to live much longer than some freshwater fish we used to see in freshwater tanks... Mine fishtank is not that old, I set up my reef in 2002, but I have also not lost a single fish from the first buy: 2 maroon clowns (breeding regularly now), hepatus tang, royal gramma. Lots of bubble tip anemones, overgrowing the tank volume... I also have 2 maroon clowns in the other tank grown from the other pair's fry. And the young also breed (between brother & sister!!!). That is an old clown. You must be doing something right. I just feed mine flake 90% of the time. I think you should feed him some mixed frozen food like krill, mysids, etc. Flakes every day might not be giving him all nutrition. |

Flake foods are pretty good these days, especially if you mix them up. Still, they do like the occassional burst of frozen shrimp. Mike |

Mike Mike and Pszemol - I do feed them frozen Marine Cuisine once in a while. Mostly flake though. Hey Psz - do you actually have baby maroons you've raised? |
