Amphiprion mccullochi, the Mcc's have landed:D .
- Thread starter mrblue
- Start date
I would hope 12months of preparation helped this survival rate, and always hoped I wouldn't lose a single one but I can't say I am not a little surprised. I had made myself except that fact that statistically some wouldn't make it but I did everything I could to prevent this. I am not home free yet though.
The male still looked a bit off colour today. I separated his tank and treated him with some anti-biotics just in case of a secondary bacterial infection. He is still in hypo so I will begin raising the SG tonite. Hopefully tomorrow he is much happier and has his old colour back. Until then I will hold off on pics, but they will come.
I might see if I can take a few of the more happier pairs and post them.

Hey ryan can i use a few of your pics?
so when do you get latezonatus?
keep up the good work. I wish there were clownfish in the waters around here.
I always worry about poisons sterilizing fish. poisons or medication whatever you want to call it. I have a lower survival rate on fish out of formalin systems than fw dips. never used the trichlorphon though .
thanks also for sharing ,

I don't think the latz are far off
. I also used to worry about sterilizing fish with medications but when it comes down to treating a fish or seeing it die, I choose the former. A couple of my spawning pairs have been treated with copper or formalin and both have gone on to spawn healthily.It's no problem sharing, thanks for the interest.

It was way to late when I was answering that post. I was more trying to say I am not as hesitant as I once was in using meds when I suspect a life threatening problem.
I have the usual sort of suspects in spawning pairs, ocellaris, black ocellaris, a couple of melanopus, GSM, banggais and gold-headed gobies.
Cool, no prob 
. The gobies were only spawning a little while before the Lord Howe trip and I haven't got back to raising stuff yet but hope to have a decent go at raising them soon. They lay in similar way to dottybacks and some other gobies I have seen. Just a big pile hanging from the roof of their 'cave'. It probably not the best shot, but I have a pic of their eggs in my gallery.

They are all going well. All the problems have worked themselves out and they all seem healthy. The sick pair is looking good and the one with popeye has got better. I have moved the juv's into my display tank and they look great. There is nothing better then getting a pair of these guys into my display
.
Here are a few more pics, they are from the ones taken by my friend. The quality of my pics aren't worth the trouble of posting.

Those are amazing pictures. It must be really nice to be able to view these in your own home. If I had a pair, heck even if I had one I would be looking at it all the time. If all of your pairs are doing well then it is only a matter of time before one of the pairs decide to spawn. Are you up for the task? =)
I quite often get distracted staring at these guys, specially when they start nest cleaning .
I would hope I am up to the task, I have raised a few clown species, but I will not know until they spawn. Who know's what the eggs and larva are going to be like. I have hoped they would be like other tomatoes, but if they are more like akindyos or latz it should be interesting...
Speaking about that, what do people think of the possibility these guys are more related to latz and akindyos then melanopus for example? The range of the latz, akindyos and mcc's seems more related then melanopus. The thing that I find interesting is the similarity of the juv stage of all these species. Apart from the Mcc's black colour as young juv's they look almost identical and all three have quite extended juv periods, well, in appearance at least.
