Hello everyone!
After lurking on this forum for some time now I have finally setup a breeding system. Here are some pictures of what I am working with.
Each tank is a 10g with a hang over the back filter and 2" of live sand for filtration purposes. For clownfish I put in 4" clay pots.
Here is a false ocellaris pair I put into one of the 10g tanks yesterday. I spooked them by turning on the lights while they were sleeping so they were not in their usual "feed me I am hungry" position.
I also added eggcrate to the tops of the broodstock tanks so I do not have to worry about jumpers.
Today I picked up a male and female green mandarins. I still need to teach them to eat prepared foods so that will be a mission in its own besides trying to breed them.
Male
Female
I also picked up a nice pair of bangi cardnals too.
Tomorrow I am going to make a fake sea urchin for them to hang in so they feel less stressed.
I also have a pair of true perculas in my solana aquarium that I want to breed but nothing yet has happened so I am playing the waiting game. Here is a picture of them;
I may move them into a broodstock tank for ideal conditions for them to spawn.
I also am getting really good at making phytoplankton per the help and guidance of a few people on this board. Here is my phytoplankton setup.
So at the moment I don't have anything actually breeding but hopefully soon they will be. I hope to learn alot from many of you successful breeders so any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Enjoy
