Amphiprion Percula Home Breeding

The breeding pair still hasn't completely abandoned the pot

Nine weeks old today. There's a good chance I have an Onyx-Picasso or Semi-Picasso in the making. One guy's middle stripe is wide on the top suggesting a Picasso pattern.

Here's a video of clowns eating frozen food. It's a mixture of mini mysis and eggs. I am dumping all of this info in here so that people getting into breeding can use part of what I've done so far in their home breeding program as well.

Nice to see them eating frozen food. Keep up with the will documented forum. I am following closely.:bounce2::bounce1:

10 weeks old. The parents are still going back and forth between the pot and the anemone.

I finally took out the flower pot and let the clowns be in their anemone.

Here are the babies at 13 weeks. Patiently waiting for colors to develop but it looks like I might have a couple of Onyx in the group (based on my observations of their pigments; hard to see in the video). Only time will tell but I am itching to raise another clutch in a month or two. Still got a lot of traveling to do in the next several weeks.

Received a new breeder box from premium aquatics. It's a little smaller than the one I'm currently using. Still traveling a lot and no time for a new batch.

Here they are at 14 weeks old. Light started to turn blue so the pics are a little darker

Keep up the good work.

I'm still very busy and was out of town this past weekend. I noticed today that my clownfish count went down. Then I found one small baby in the overflow. He went through a small hole of the breeder box that was meant for a divider. I blocked the hole by installing the divider. Clowns are 15 weeks old now. I'm battling algae and might be moving the babies to the 10 gallon tank that's still running. The sponge in the first photo is actually for the grow out tank when the clowns are ready to be moved. I'm seeding it with bacteria.
It's nearly impossible to tell by looking at the pictures but quite a few clowns are showing more Onyx traits than last week.

16 weeks old today. Time flies.

 

[JonezNReef]

They grow up so fast LOL. Looking good
