In a hurry to reproduce :)

[phender]

My akindynos clowns (Barrier Reef Clowns) have been pretty consistent breeders since they started to lay a few years ago, but this is a first. In fact I have never seen it before from any of my clown pairs.

They laid eggs before the old batch had even hatched. I'm glad I took the pic last night because the old eggs had hatched this morning.

No, I am not raising the babies. I've done it with several other types of clowns but its too much work when one batch of babies from this species would pretty much flood the market.

Flood the market? It is very difficult to find these clowns man. Flood the freaking market man.

Neat. Iguess this just show how well you are taken care of them.

Adindynos are not rare in the wild. The reason that they are rare in the hobby is because when wholesalers bring them in, they sit in their tanks. Very few people want "brown clowns". I could maybe sell 10-30 to collectors, if I felt like shipping all over the country, which I don't. I could maybe sell another 30 to LA wholesalers. That leaves me with between 100-200 (they have big nests) that I have to sit on for maybe 6 months to a year and I still wouldn't be able to get rid of all of them in the second round.

Plus the fact that if I remember right, akindynos fry are very small and need a smaller rotifer than the standard ones.

It may be worth it to you, but I have been there with other clown species and its not that much fun.

I think proaquatix had a batch and took a long time to sell

Most people do not want 'brown' clarkii LOL

Hubert, those akinydnos from proaquatix was from my breeding pair.

Your right no one wants brown clarkis, they became very hard to sell but good news there is someone on the east coast breeding them and selling them.

I wish i could find out where my pair went but all attempts have flatlined

I would also love to get an akinydnos pair.
