Breeding Clownfish

[Aquatic Nerd]

I put a few drops of decap catchable brine in this morning. Everyone is looking pretty good still. I lost a few here and there I believe.
Today is Day 4 and I wager there is still more than a hundred in there. Excited to see what the next couple days bring.

Very cool. Are you raising your rotifers in a separate tank?

Yes, 5g bucket.
As well as nano phyto in 2, 1 g jars

Before you know it they will look like this.

Love it!
11 more days and I'll be caught up!
Now is the critical period.

 

[Aquatic Nerd]

some are starting to look like fish. Others are still approaching metamorphosis.
Still got a decent number. 75 or so.

Day 8. Lots of little chunkers. Stripes should come through soon!

Look at that mouth hahaha

 

[Aquatic Nerd]

Check it out. First guy with stripes
I have about 40-60 left.

Nice. How many do you think hatched?

200-250 plus
I think my phyto dieting early, which in turn lead to an early shift in brine....was a reason for losing a few. But I am gonna keep plugging away trying to get better survival rates

Thanks @FREAKINRICAN69 it's all about how much you're hone and motivated lol. Luckily I work the route I live on so I get to stop in here and there

It is labor of love.
Too intense for me even though my wife and daughter want baby clownfish.
I just buy them instead.

Same here but that's a hell of an experience i guess. It seems awesome for sure...
