Looking great Wes! Still love that tank of yours.
Thanks, I was debating on selling off the corals and just throw in a handful of RBTA's and BTA's, but I'm afraid of them getting sucked into my (2) mp10's and nuking the tank.
Nice selection of clowns. Have you seen any aggression between them?
Yes, I have noticed some aggression since my clowns are all different sizes. I have (1) AC110 where I would house the ones that show major aggression. I would place them in there for a week or two, then try to re introduce them with a breeder box that I picked up at PetSmart.
The item is called "
Top Fin Aquarium Mesh Breeder." The dimensions are 6.5 in x 4.9 in x 5.1 in and hangs into the display tank.
Great pics! Can you tell us a little more about the tank? What size is it? What are you doing to avoid aggression in the clowns as they mature? A FTS would be cool too! This looks like it's going to be a fun thread to follow!
My display tank is a standard 40 Breeder (36" x 18" x 16") that I purchased from Petco over 2 years ago. I have a build thread on here somewhere.
Let's see, to "avoid aggression...as they mature" all that I am doing is feeding them 3 times a day. At the top left hand side of the tank, I have a nepthea that the Picasso Extreme is hosting, In the center of the tank I have a 25+ head hammer coral that the Picasso B grade hosts and on the right hand side of the tank, I have a pretty large toadstool that the C. Vossen Picasso hosts from time to time.
My plan is to have about 6 designer clowns in the 40 Breeder (I'll probably give up the Darwin Occi, since I'll be acquiring a Bali Picasso and Magneto soon). If aggression increases between the clowns, I will pair them off, separate the tank with dividers and try my hand at breeding.
I am also in the market for a DSA 105. If I could find a good deal, then that will be the new breeding home for my designers. Or I would sell off all my corals, purchase and plumb 3-4 10 gallon tanks and call it a day.
