Baby clowns are ready

[mako56]

Well I would say I have a dozen or so baby clowns ready to leave home. They are around an inch long. I seen that Marine Depot had them on sale last week and the small size was between 3/4" and an 1 1/4" so they should be ready. going to be kind of hard to do but I will just have to get used to it if I am going to keep doing this. I gave a couple to my son about a month ago and they are doing fine so I guess. Just thought I would put the word out before I see what the pet stores will give me for them.

Oh ya I should of said that they are Gold Striped Maroons.

 

[rica5tully]

Are you selling the clowns? Giving them away?

Do you have other species too? Or just maroons?

 

[mako56]

Hey rica5tully, I am going to sell them trying to get some of the money I spent raising them. I have been checking around and it seems they go for between 18 and 24 dollars. I am not sure what to charge but think they should be worth ten. These are the only species I have now but if it looks like it might work out I plan to try others.

Do you have any pics of the babies?

[mako56]

Heres a pic I am not having a good day so this might not work either but here it goes. Well that just proves it I will try again.

Hope this one works the last one looked like the monster from the blu lagoon.

Thanks Kass, I just kept trying until I got it and now I guess I can say I did it. I guess I just have to watch them leave home the next batch that's coming up (must be around six weeks old) must be close to 100. And then theres the hatch I will hopefully be catching tomorrow night. They do feel a little like kids though :eek1:.

Here is a link to all my trials and errors in the process of turning clownfish fry into clown fish. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=718515
If you need or would like anything else just ask and I will do what I can to help.

 

[mako56]

If anyone might want one of these I can hold them but otherwise I am going to take them to a fish store in Green Bay.

Just playing around to see why this isn't working.

Free bump and some props for Mako to tell everyone out there that these fish are very healthy and strong.
I stopped by about a week ago and picked up 2 of them. They are doing great and will eat anything I put in there for them to eat.
These are some very nice fish.
