breeding

hey guys, so my girlfriends been begging me to try and breed our clown fish we have saddle back and ocerellis clown in our mini reef weve had them for months now with an bubble tip anemone that they both hang out in, unfortunately no luck on the eggs yet is it possible something is eating them...

Breeding - Raising juvenile clownfish have some challenges especially when there's 30 to 70 in one grow-out tank, that is not drilled. Feeding numerous times a day, and fish waste can raise the level of nitrites. So I find myself doing daily water changes, or dripping just RO water to lowered...

Sorry to say that these babies will not last long... About 4 months ago, we moved this pair of clowns into our display tank and they have adopted my Red BTA...and made a home! We'll watch this progress and post an update or so along the way.

this morning I noticed several cerith snails on the glass. I counted six separate egg strands. I haven't paid attention to how many strands show up at the same time before. Anyone have experience with synchronized breeding in these guys?

I first started my reef tank in October 2017, with two clownfish and a damsel, and now (February 2018) I have the same two clowns, same damsel, with an addition of a Valentini puffer and two chromis. My clown fish have always been like a cute little couple, I’ve never seen them fight and one is...

So it's nearly 5 months since this Chromis was born. I'm not trying to rear anymore batches until the temperature gets warmer (I cant keep anything other than my main system at a solid temps). This guy is in one of the tanks attached to my DT sharing a section with a clownfish, but separated...

Thinking about getting some Banggai Cardinals and see if I can breed them for fun. How do I know if they are male or female when I head to my lfs. Thanks!

So, I am trying to breed red mandarins (successfully bred green mandarins, now trying these guys out), and I have them in a macroalgae tank. I do plan to put some photosynthetic gorgonians, but I realize that might eat my fry. I am adding the Golden Plume gorgonian and Purple Cactus gorgonian...

So I plan to breed Red Mandarins, but I couldn't find much info online. I have a list of questions I want to ask. 1. How can I get a pair? Do I need to buy multiple and pair them off? Or can I just buy a male and a female? I know the male has to be bigger though. 2. Is there anything I have to...

Hi ALL I'm starting a clownfish breeding data journal, one to share and secondly to use this as a learning curve. After talking to WesleyC who been very helpful I thought why not start a data journal to keep the progress on my Picasso pair. General Name: Snowcasso & Bali Picasso Scientific...

I was wondering why this has never been done, while -in theory- this should be an easy process that I may try. I imagine that all you would have to do is get (maybe three) lta's so that you get one of each sex and mimic weather changing so that they will go sexual. Do a few months of...

I want to start breeding clownfish from home. I have been doing reaserch and I've hit a roadbumb. Permits!! Do I need a permit if I want to sell clownfish from home Ps. I live in fl

So first off I'd like to say that I've scoured the web for info on the tons of topics reef related and I've probably learned more in this site then any other internet wise... (let's not forget delbeck and sprung lol). I love how everyone updates regular new material and there many intelligent...

I recently introduced a bonded pair of hi-fin red banded gobies (along with a randalli pistol) to my Evo 13.5 tank. They are the sole inhabitants, with the exception of some snails. I'd like to do everything I can to encourage mating. Has anyone had success with this particular species of...

So Last night my Mini Maxi released a huge load of eggs over a period of about 2 hours from when I got home, (no idea when it started). Today my rock flowers anemones (15) are all standing up and have their mouthes slightly open. I plan on turning off my sump return pump and leaving on the power...

Hi, I am new here. I am from Europe.

Hello everyone! I am new to the forum, and I have a question about my pair of Percula clowns. I bought both of them together in April of last year, when they were juveniles. I'm assuming this puts them around 1 year old? My female clown is doing some odd behavior she never usually does. I feel...

Hi guys, I'm new to this hobby so don't hate haha. Can someone tell me what this is on the glass of my tank, my first thought was fish eggs as i have them on the other side of the tank (first picture) there off my yellow damsels. but the second picture is what i'm not sure of?
