Clowns not growing???

[eskimoigloo]

About 3 months ago I bought 2 tank bred baby clowns from my LFS, I feed them on a mixture of brineshrimp, gamma shrimp, prawns, algae pelletss, and sea weed once a day, but they have not grown since I have put them in the tank. I also have 2 humbug damsels, and a yellow tang, none of which bully the clowns. They don't have a nem to live in yet. Am I just being impatient :confused: I am used to rift lake cichlids and tropical fish doubling in size every month!

clowns don't grow that quickly. there's a guy on here, had his from babies 18 months ago, they're still not nearly as big as my old ones.

I was just worried I was missing something from their diet/environment that was causing them to be stunted... but obviously not!

Thanks, Chris.

I'v had mine around 16 months and he dosent seem to have grown much at all. Im the same, I feed him a varied diet and he seems very happy, I think it just takes a bit of time.
