    Bought her for a friend's birthday in January. She lost a clown a while ago and has been wanting one and loves misbarred and Onyx ones and this is the coolest looking clown I've seen (imo). I'll be able to watch her and make sure she's healthy before giving her away.

    Very nice, looks like it has a slight misbar and the black is still filling in...
    Beautiful clown ;)

    It's also double misbarred. I usually see ones that only are on one side.

    I get paid to walk her puppy daily because of her work schedule, so on her birthday I'm going to bring the fish in after walking him and acclimate it and stay for a while and watch for any aggression issues. Then she'll get home and see it when she goes to the tank.

    Got her in the tank yesterday with no problems. Her sixline that's half the length stared it down with its dorsal up a couple times, but after it's ignored her. It's a 40 breeder with the sixline, a green spotted puffer, and a yellowtail damsel. My friend was very happy.

    He's actively been around the whole tank, never tried to hide or anything. Also, ate a few hours later when my friend fed the tank. Doesn't care if you are standing right next to the tank either.
