Baby ocellaris pics

i'll take some photos tonight, they've stopped growing as fast because I only get to feed them twice a day. I did recently have a rotifer crash, so I am not able to raise any new fry at the moment. But I do have 100+ baby ocellaris...

AI3, snapped these photos when I stopped over at KMA Int'l to see his huge shipment of skimmers that he received yesterday. Great looking babies!!! :thumbsup:

Here's a short video...
 
UCandoIt,

Great pics and video! Thanks for posting that... I was suprised when Ed told me that all 7 instantly hosted in the RBTAs. That tank looks awesome. Looks like I'll have to set up a multiple clown/RBTA tank myself! :)
 
That's what I heard too. He says as soon as they were out of the bag, straight to the cluster of 3 BTAs. It's probably the biggest hiding spot in his mixed reef tank. He fed them for me when I was there... they are sooooooo cute! Can't imagine how the rest of your stock looks with 50 - 100 darting around playing games. :) He mentioned that he thought he lost one of them, but all is safe!

BTW, the anemones are from Robin (aka fingerwrinkles).
 
So out of curiosity, just how many clowns (clown pairs) can you have in a tank ? Or how many per BTA ? (not counting MGB clowns, as they don't like anything else in there with them... including us owners or our hands).
 
When I was in Hawaii last year, I stopped by the Waikiki Aquarium (like a small Steinhart) and they had one tank dedicated to BTAs and Oscellaris. There was about 7-8 huge BTAs of over a foot each with at least a number of daughter BTAs. I saw what looked like 50 Oscellaris living as a family among the anemones, all various sizes.
 
I put 25 in each 10G, and I've never had any torn fins or too much aggression. I don't know the long term effects, but I think you can probably get away with putting multiple clowns in a tank if you get them as very small juvis and let them form their own hierarchy.

I can tell you that I have tried putting another pair of clowns in with my breeding pair in my 240, and the breeding pair would have none of it. The big momma clown attached the new pair non-stop, and I eventually had to take the new pair out.

I know I love that tank there. I'm in Waikiki right now and I'll snap some new photos when I visit the aquarium this week.
