Hey Marina,
I've been aware of your attempts to breed the Chyrsopterus clowns for awhile now, but last I'd heard you ran into some troubles....

Does this mean your back at breeding attempts? I hope so as I'd love to be able to purchase a captive bred Chrysopterus or two some time in the future...

Cool marina, it would be cool to see more pictures going from smallest like the middle picture, to full grown, with a few sizes in between.

 

[Dan]

Nice, Marina. A lot of work, but very satisfying to get to here, eh?

Dan, look closer. See the one in the background?

No, no breeding so far.

He looks familiar in that clownfish sort of way.

Out of sight, out of mind?

She was a he when last we parted. My, how the road of life changes one......not that there's anything wrong with that (silly clownfish).

You know, Dan, she has not changed much over the years. I always thought that chrys grow out of their third stripe with age. She is at least 3 years old now and still has that little white mark by the tail.
