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!

Thanks Mike.
I've been very busy lately at work and at home. So there hasn't been much to update lately anyways ... LOL Just watching these little guys grow. In the above photo of the babies in the 5 gallon cube, you can see just how small they are. The two oldest babies (in the skull tank) are already showing their maroon attitude. They're fighting ! So much so I had to split them up. The smaller of the two is down right mean. I'll be selling her first. LOL

Thanks. Captive breed fish are always the strongest, healthiest and best for the environment. So what are you waiting for ? LOL

Hey Agsansoo,

Just wondering... Your maroons, did you buy them as a pair? Or did you have one first and introduce the other?

I've heard/read there the hardest clowns too pair off, whats the best way to go about getting a pair of clowns into your tank (percula, maroons or occellaris).

Thanks

Did I buy a mated pair ? ... No, I did it the old fashion way. I dimmed the lights and played that CD from TV ..."Love songs from the 70's, 80's" LOL j/k
I purchased the smaller male about 6 months after the larger female.

g2g ... I'm at work. More later tonight !

I just happy their still alive. I'm also glad my female only lays eggs a few month out of the year. It's a lot of work raising fry. One side note: I lost all my rotifer cultures when I went on vacation last month. My daughter couldn't care for them while I was gone. I will restart them soon. As they are good sps food !
