Breeding Saltwater Fish - I know wishful thinking, but we gotta start somewhere. Hopefully we can share what we know and learn to improve the chances of other hobbyists routinely breeding saltwater fish!

Re: Clowns spawn again !

But you could probably make a lot of money and then you could get a bigger house with more tanks and more tanks for your clowns. Just sell them to the pet stores and share them with very close freinds.

Re: Clowns spawn again !

Update:
While the forth batch of eggs are ready to hatch. So far out of the previous three hatches, I have one lone survivor in a 5 gallon tank. All larvae from the third hatch that I put in the 5 gallon tank last week, died. Survivors from the first and second hatch (which the single survivor is one) are all doing well in the the main display tank. I watch with amazement, all the little fry swimming around the rocks and coral. I think I will stop trying to catch them from now on. Not sure how this will turn out.

Re: Clowns spawn again !

Do you have a video camera? This sounds so amazing. Would be awesome to watch. Mind they're probably still too small to be seen with a decent picture.

Re: Clowns spawn again !

So cute....our clowns spawned for the first time. Of course it was the week we had our SW set up for sale...the guy who bought them said they had at least 10 babies survive. I have some pixs posted here somewhere.

Re: Clowns spawn again !

Saturday the fourth batch hatched out into the main display. I moved my cleaner shrimp into my refugium to help the babies odds. I also collected around 50 babies for the grow-out tank. All 50 were dead within 24 hours. This is very frustrating ! Only one survivor is left in the grow-out tank from the first batch of eggs. The babies in the display tank are getting bigger ! I will try to catch the bigger ones for the grow-out tank. That way I feed them plenty of baby brine shrimp.

The only live ones are in the main display tank. Not sure how many there are.

Re: Clowns spawn again ! With video

Here's a video I took. The fry are in the display tank and so very small ! Hope you can see them, look at the rock where it meets the sand.

That is so cool. I couldn't see them until one moved near the rock and it kind of stuck out.
