Any way i can speed up my tiny maroon clowns growth process? I want him to be about 3 inches. Currently hes abou half an inch.

Will he eat salad shrimp and krill? I put that in daily as well as flakes which i know they eat.

If you want to really give him a protien shake, get a large variety of frozen fish food, and some white shrimp from the grocery store,.. and maybe toss in a little cyclopeze. thaw out the frozen stuff in ro/di,... rinse everything (but the cyclopeze),.. throw it all oin a blender, and freeze it in ziploc bags in flat sheets.. the more variety the better.

Time.
Get a male clown (much smaller) and the female will grow more quickly.

How's this for a protein shake?
Salad Shrimp, Omega Brine Shrimp, Chopped Mussel, Krill, Emerald Entree, Marine Cuisine, Cyclopeze

The brine shrimp and mussels because i know they promote growth, and the rest just because i have them...
