Lots of clowns

[reefusaca]

Wow! That's alot of clowns I've seen in a tank.

 

[reefusaca]

How do you hatch the eggs? Thanks.

Congratulations on your success! Beautiful tank and clowns! :thumbsup:

 

[this is me]

Yeah, this is great accomplishment to be able to breed and raise these many clowns to adulthood.

Is the mother in the same tank as the ones you raised from fry?

The pics are great. Good job raising them. What were you feeding the babies when they first hatched.

For those interested in more information. Myself and a couple of other members have some great threads in the breeding forum.

how many are there, have you lost many of them in the years

There is about 25 to 30 of them. I have sold some of them, lost some in the start when I put too small of fish with bigger fish(gulp). Forgot to turn on the powerheads one night and lost 40 to oxygen starvation.

I use to have about 150 of them in the same tank, but they were about 1/4 of an inch.

I had it down like clockwork, I knew what day they would hatch and how much time after the lights when out.
I would turn all the pumps and powerhead off, use a flashlight near the corner(they are attracted to the light), scoop them up in a small cup and transfer them to a 20g tank.

No the parents are in a separate 120g tank.

I feed them live rotifers that I keep an ongoing batch of.

Great looking clowns. This is a very interesting idea, clown dominated tanks !
