lost all in meta...
I've got to be doing something wrong... I've built myself a kriesl tank and I am also culturing one of the smaller species of copepods. Planning on trying again in June. I will update when I have some success.
Keep up the good work. It is simply a matter of time. Trial and error is part of the game as you well know. Feel free to update on your failures as well, the more information the better

Great job so far!!! If you haven't read Joyce's Clownfish book, you should. She had very similar problems (meta mortality) she talked of in the book. I would say your next route of copepod experimentation is the only way you'll know for sure if that is not a viable avenue. Don't give up..... I'm still battling my juvie (~3 months) Tomatos' to continue eating. They just stop accepting food at this point and have been for the last year I was breeding. I feel your pain......

Look at it this way. You got all the way to Meta!!!!!!!!! It's not about the failures, but about the progress.

I have held off posting this because it is almost too much for me to bear... I went to San Diego for 5 days. We had a lot of t-storms pass through the midwest. On Thursday, my vacation caretaker called to tell me the pump was off in my anemone/clown tank and the fish did not look good (i.e. were dead after I asked what did "not good" mean). The pump had locked up from flickering power...but they had gotten it running again.
I held out hope that something had survived and I moved up my flight returning yesterday afternoon. The house stunk and the tank was a soupy mess. Everything dead - 2 latezonatus, 4 chrysogaster and some other assorted fish, not to mention 2 irreplaceable S. mertensii anemones and a list of inverts too long to mention. So that's it - all these animals made it through my deployment to Iraq to die during a brief 5 days trip.
I salvaged what I could find that was still living and took the tank down.
So, I am sorry to disappoint everyone asking about TR latezonatus - there won't be any. My continued involvement in this hobby is also in question.
