Mate for C. interrupta

[Crimson]

That's great!

I am moving in March and I hope everything will make the trip across down including my prized venustus

Karen, keep me posted when you looking for new experiment, I am sure we can arrange something.

Thank you. I would love to do more but all my tanks are full at the moment. I'm still trying to sneak more tanks in while my husband is watching football.

Fantastic news!!

Awesome update! Can't wait to hear about the secret blonde larva.

So cool!

Karen, what are you keeping the C. interrupta tank at for temperature? Frank at RCT kept their wild caught spawning pair at lower temps from my understanding. If your tank is kept warmer maybe cooling it down will increase spawning size and fertility?

excellent!
are the jocs involved?

That was my initial thought as well.

First fish that came to mind after watching the video of the secret larva was Genicanthus Melanospilus.

Very Cool Karen!
I loved the videos, and I can't wait to see what that little blondie looks like when she is all grown up!

This last week we had cool North winds and the interrupta tank was at 22/23C so that probably did help. Last night Faith produced 900+ eggs but none were fertile. 900 eggs is plenty for me to work with so it's just the timing of their dance that they need to improve on now . The small spawns over the last several days did have some fertile eggs so we are going in the right direction and I think we'll be there soon. I'm actually surprised we did get fertile eggs with the way these two fly around the tank during spawning. Those sperm are gonna have to be fast!

The jocs are not involved in this larval run but Jaws and Connie did get to move to a larger tank which they are sharing with a medium sized pair of Bandits. Both Bandits are females which are getting along and I hope will become a breeding pair. I was worried about little Connie moving in with the larger fish so I made a rubble pile that's just her size. She loves it and hangs out above it interacting with the bandits. Jaws likes to come blasting through on the chase and Connie will dive into the rubble pile and come swooping up out of it behind him. It's hilarious to watch their antics.

If you all want me to tell you what the blonde larvae possibilities could be, I'll fill you in. I don't know what she is for sure and thought it would be a fun surprise to see what she settles into.:crazy1: It's up to you.

I remember you had Centropyge acanthops in the tank !

she is very funny and is so calculated in her actions! great to hear she is still up to her old tricks!!

Love it!
I am so glad that Jaws and Connie have settled in so well. Jaws always was a bit of a chaser, I'm not surprised he is still blasting around chasing everyone else in sight. How is he doing with the bandits? Has he figured out that they are going to be bigger than he is and that he should mind his manners yet?
