Breeding A. Chrysogaster pair updates

[JJ Ocean]

This is the second documented attempt at rising a.chrysogaster fry in captivity ever, as far as I know.

Marina "“ congrats!!!

The juvi looks great. I only know of 3 other documented breeding of a. chrysogaster: Aquarium de la Réunion, Central Marine Fisheries Institute of India and a LFS owner in California. None of them are currently breeding them.

Best of luck!

Thank you

Central Marine Fisheries Institute of India

I question the species in this paper. Collection location is not where you normally find gasters.

Marina,
I keep telling ya how cool this is. Your juvis looks just as nice and healthy as Karen Brittians Latz.

Have you ever had them hosting in a Mertens? I wonder if they would get darker quicker. You have them in a magnifica right?

 

[EdKruzel]

Mostly heavy feedings, some meds...

Sounds like a typical Saturday evening with the grandkids.

Congrats on the little guy...

I have the pair in crispa, babies are in RBTAs. They are getting darker and they are huge for their age. I will get some pics over the weekend.

Allardi baby

Yeah, I was just being honery. Awesome job by the way, your fish look fantastic. Any of these babies going to hit the market soon?

 

[Reefvette]

Marina, did you ever notice any extreme aggression?

My 3 inch female took out a 5 inch anthias yesterday.

My Akinydnos were never this bad until they got to 5 inches.

 

[MarinaP]

My pair does not have any tankmates, so I cannot comment.

 

[Reefvette]

WOw

WOw

Marina you are the second person ive spoken to with gasters that have no tank mates.

The female doesnt bother my 5 year old watchman goby but she took out that anthias and i was like oh boy!

All the clarkis complex clowns i have had these are the worst. Uber Aggressive but if you keep them robust they look amazing.

How old were yours.
