Here's a pic of my just finished setup


That's just the brood stock setup?

 

[ajdiver]

That's a good little setup! I scored a deal to sell almost all if not all of my fry to my LFS. I'm building my stand for my breeder tank this or next week.

Those bubbles supposed to be soo strong? Poor fish look like they are being tossed around.

 

[ajdiver]

Actually that's just right for them. They're not getting blown around. They're in a 10 gallon and there's around 50 to 75 of them. Too little air they will die.

First attempt and raising baby snowflakes.

Just wondering if u have a similar thought as me.....I honestly plan on keeping the first 2 clowns I raise and see how long I keep them so I have a small piece of the experience to hold on to...u?

Always seemed cool to say, "Yea, I raised those guys since birth"



O and on a side note while trying to get the clowns set up to breed my 2 cleaner shrimp were forced into the same tank and now the female has eggs all over the bottom of her tail lol....hey I got one breeding pair in the house at least!? Lol

got a 180 days for settlement alone? (cleaner shrimp). IIRC that's about how long it takes just for cleaner shrimp settlement.

 

[Jacobsdad09]

O trust me I don't plan on keeping them but I am kind is intrested in keeping them in the brood stock sump or even the fry sump so that when the release the eggs it can be a good natural food source?....just thoughts but I'm going to see how they pan out first

One of my fry in my first batch has amazing color and outlines on him. There's a couple that I'm definitely keeping. I would keep them all but my wife would kill me. I'm picking up the 60 gallon sump tomorrow for my breeder tank. I'll post a pic of it. My father in law is gonna start building my stand for it this week as well.

 

[ajdiver]

Just picked up my sump for my build I'm setting up. I'll have my stand built by this weekend so hopefully I'll have it all set up by Sunday.

Nice! Always nice to get goodies

 

[ajdiver]

My breeder setup is coming along nicely. Waterproofing it tomorrow then all I need is a pump, skimmer, and a light.

Where did that tank come from?

 

[ajdiver]

I bought it from my buddy who in turn got it from my LFS. I paid $200. It has 5 separate chambers and I can adjust the flow in each of them.

 

[president89]

That's a good price

 

[ajdiver]

I'm trying to slim down on so many tanks. I figured once my fry are ready to transfer to regular tanks I can just use this.
