Congrats Jake, What kind of clowns and are you going to try and raise them? Mike

Thanks

Thanks

Their false percs. that a fellow reefer gave me when he moved.

I had talked with Jacob30 at the last club meeting about things to change (light cycle, temp, and food) but I didn't make any changes. I guess they where not ready, until now. I hope they continue to spawn.I don't believe I will try to raise this clutch as the egg mass in very small maybe about 20-30 eggs. My clowns have been acting as if they where going to spawn ( cleaning the rock under their seabae) but never got to it.

 

[jacob30]

Come over and get some Rotifers to start a culture when your ready. Congrats!!

I just collected another hatch tonight!!


Good luck!

Jacob

The breeding setup is about 80% done. I will post some pics once I get the sump online.

Hi everyone, one question how much time would it take for my clownfishes to breed?

I bought a pair 8 months ago, one is twice as larger than the other. They are A. percula.

Is there a way to know?

 

[NicoleC]

Well, maybe never. Maybe tomorrow. First, they need to be mature enough. Yours may not be yet -- if they were tank raised, tey could be less than a year old. If they were wild caught, they could be that young or as old as 30 years.

They need good food and lots of it, and very stable water conditions. A nice warm steady temp (80-82F) and long light cycle helps.

Some fish are more sensitive to light changes and disturbances than others. My pair will (and have!) spawned while I was cleaning the tank. Some pairs can't even have the light timer get slightly off or it will throw them off schedule.

So that's where to start looking at your husbandry -- consistancy and nice fat fish. If you have already satisfied all these conditions, you can possibly jump start a pair by extending the lighting period and simulating a plankton bloom, but you may just need a bit more patience.

They look like true perc with the wide border of black?? But it's hard for me to tell. I'm new at this again.

Congrats to the both of you.

This is so cool. The more that we hatch the more that there is a chance of conservation in the wild.
