i love watching baby clownfish... and So this will be the 2nd batch you are collecting? I enjoyed collecting my batch 2 much more than batch 1 because of the little bit of experience I had just from the first one. I knew more of what to expect.

How'd collection go?
 
Bad news today in the morning I check for new bbs but nothing !! So I went to work this morning at 5am hopping that I will have new bbs wen I get home but I only have 2 bbs the batch look white most of it and I think this is it for my second batch:( I don't know that went wrong I did the same thing with this ones that my first batch
I'm so sad I think I kill them !!!
 
sorry. on the bright side, they definitely wouldn't have made it without you trying... so at least giving them a chance. Do you think you just took them away from the parents too early?
 
I don't think so

I don't think so

They look great. What do you do with them after they've reached a juvenile size?

I don't know what going to do with them probably sell them to make off for the mine that I spend on the Rotifers.

Maybe I will trade them for some SPS I lost a lot of my collection because I didn't want to desturb them out (no regular water changes like I use to) and my SPS didn't like that so I did lost some.
 
Is it only 4 that made it? That's not too bad for a small batch imo. How big are your fry and growout tanks? Sorry for a bunch of questions, I might have more, I just find it fascinating and I really want a platinum and a picasso for when I setup my tank in a few weeks.

(About 20 from the batch)Yes I had 9 but I kill them by giving them baby brane shrimp to soon they were to small still and they shock on them:deadhorse:
So I end up with 4 only:headwally:

My fry was really small about 2 or 3 mm

My fry tank is a 2 1/2 gallon.
 
And if you want one:)

And if you want one:)

Sweet! I'll shoot you a PM when I'm ready if I go that way. :D


Is that a normal size (batch?) of fry for clowns? And do all of them come out as platinums?

Edit: couple more questions... Do you run a growout tank? And where did you get the parents? They look excellent!
Edit2: oh, how old are the parents? sorry again for all the questions lol.

My first bath was small, I guess that's normal.
And all of them look platinums to me just I dint have the chance to see all of them with there full colors because I kill some with the brine shrimp.

my 2nd was little bigger but I didn't had much luck with them, they hatch on day 8,9 and 10 I don't know why I did everything the same as the first batch but I lost a lot of egg that never hatch so I end up with 25-30 fry

I have I don't have a grow tank, I'm using a tank for the fry that I drill a hole for the drain and I use a air hose for return from my main tank.
I will take a video to show how I have my setup for the fry ok.

I got the parents about 2 1/2 years ago from a good friend that he didn't have a tank at the point but he was working on getting one again ( he had one before) and he saw this clowns and order online and he give to me to hold them for him but after some time he let me keep then to see if I can breed them:) good friend!!

And don't be sorry about your ?s I'm the same way,I ask all the tim:thumbsup:e.

Let me know if you have more questions, I will try to do my best to answer them:wavehand:
