we shall see

It was really nice talking to you yesterday on the phone. We're looking very forward to recieving clowns in the near future. Those pictures of the parent picassos... WOW!

PS- Put me in for the drawing!

you to man thank you for calling i enjoyd th convo i got you in no worries ttyl

wow!!!! i just sat and read this entire thread. erik you are the man!. i would definately want to be on the raffle list. my wife would flip i got one these. but i am interested in talking about the different breeds with you. i'll send you a pm. awesome setup and determination. someone should make a movie saga about this.

Can I get in the raffle? These fish are unbelievable!

everyone is in the raffle so far as we speak i will post an updated list when the clowns are ready. i have about 300 of their babies and i am almost positive that i will get at least 25 to 50 snowflakes from them. My buddy has a pair in venice that are breeding and he gets about 25 out of a hundred with snowflake patterns. So far zeero have died they are going through meta as wee speak and two more pairs are schedualed to lay tomorrow. I am getting flusterd lol lots of clowns so little time but i have worked out a schedual that has fit their needs perfect. So the great news is i counted my death toll from day one to day 20 with my picasso and snowflake babies and out of 1400 babies total between the both of them i have lost 14 from day one. I say i figured out my little problem lol now its time to grow them fast and send you what i am so addicted to lol se ya guys and gals thank you very much for following. It means allot. And sometimed seeing that you all are so interested keeps me going cuz if no one was interested it would be no fun

i can't speak for everyone but i sure do appreciate it.

Wow, only lost 14?! That's a great rate! You're a pro at raising at raising them babies!

And likewise, updates from you about your babies always makes my day.

Well here is an update. I checked the babies today and i can see a bunch that have just gotten head stripes and i can def see allot of white on their faces and behind their eyes. Very good indications of some crazy looking fish. To me a couple look very extreme so maybe they will be really white but the reest have zig zag head bars and very thick. I am almost 100 percent positive that snowflakes are starting to show. I will keep updates as they progress, now if i can only find my 90 mm macro lens that my son found and usd it as a throwing toy 400 dollars later. lmao and its a tamron to top it off

that sux

If you are going to raffle off another pair Christo - I'd like to get in!

Thanks!

well here is a quick update, we definitely have snowflakes. I looked at them today and i see some crazy head markings with allot of white. I cant really count how many because they swim to fast. The other pairs layed today so i will be hatching out about 800 eggs in a week and about 400 from her on sunday so i will keep everyone posted. So finally after all the wait and time the snowflakes have come through. I will let everyone know when the web site is finished. The name of the web site is going to be
www.clownfishbreeder.com it is not up yet its in the making still. See yall soon

awesome thanks for the update.

Nice to see you are finally getting snow flakes "again".by the way I saw that clownfishbreeder.com is still up for sale you better buy it before I do lol!!!!!!!!

You could sell these fish at steamingturds.com and I'd still buy em.

I tried my best taking these pix with a 70 300mm lens it was difficult until i can find my macro lens. You can def see the flame looking patterns on the head bars. These fish are only 12 days old and only half of thm half striped up so im awaiting mor to come about. These were the couple that i could catch they are very fast. You can see the gray shaded areas on their body where the white will come in. I am very excited these will trun out to be some cool fish. And i think I am the only one right now showing the progression of snowflakes see ya guys thanks ill keep posting as they develope

awesome erik. there is a girl here in MO that has a broodstack of snowflakes. but i dont think you will have competition on a grand scale...lol. she has some beautiful flakes too. you can check her blogs here:

your babies look amazing. i bet it's like christmas.

happy thanksgiving to the eastcoasters, happy early thanksgiving to the midwesters and west coasters.

Thank you for your comments and comliments. I have followed chelseyy and she has very nice fish unfortunately she hasnt had luck. I have a feling it is her female that is not producing fertile eggs. If she wants some advice because i have been down that road feel free to let her no i am willing to help. On the other hand many people have brd snowflakes but proving babies is difficult to find. There was a guy on rf central breeding a snowflake with an onyz but that would be considered a hybrid which is fine to some peopl not me. Any way there is no competition for me cuz i do this for fun and why not make a bit of money with something you enjoy, Either way i wont stop breeding clowns whether they sell or not i will put out some of the most beautiful clowns the hobby has seen you can count on that

no kidding. yours have amazing color and pattern. its always better when someone takes the approach of "do cuz it's fun." that way you have nothing to lose.

Agreed

heres a couple pix of some other babies i picked out tonight sorry they are bad but i am still trying to find my macro time for a new one

that is gonna have some insane patterns

very nice pics... they are looking very promising... well done...

looking good man. keep it up. all the tips youve been giving me have paid off. after 3 months 2 pairs are spawning regularly and i have babies trying to grow up. i owe you a tip LOL

Awesome glad to hear that ive heard form a bunch of people my advice helped so i guess im doing something right lol. Thank you and i hope you keep me posted on the spawns you are getting, You need help you know where i am at. Anyway im hatching out another 200 or so tonight. She is preganant right now and should be laying again in two or three days. Like clock work every nine days see ya and thank you. Ill keep ya updated see ya

Do you think they will be more white?you should call those fatbar occelaris you could have a whole new varient!!!!!!sweet!!!!!!!good job christos!!!!!!!!!

good question i really dont know if they are going to be extreme white. On a bunch of them i see white starting and connecting behind the head bar on others i dont. I guess time will tell which ones develope allot and which ones dont. These fish are about half your pinky nail they are extremely small. Either way i like their head bars and i think they look pretty sweet. I am not a fan of extremely white clowns. I was thiking like a semi snowflake maybe these fish will have a bit more character who knowswe shall see. It will be interesting to see what the other 6 pairs throw out

wow way cute!
so cool how you can see all three white bars on that last little clown!

even if theyre not gonna be snowflakes or platinums, i have no doubt these are gonna have some whacky designs! great looking batch christo!

thank you for your comments. They definetly are pretty cool looking. They have the snowflake head bars where it looks like a tore up flag. The middle bars are wider and also have abnormal points and edges. I dont know what to say lol they might be a bit different some are like the ones in the pictures and some are more extreme. All of them have sideburns. My question is and with your help of course do you give them a name or do you call em snowflakes i dont know. I want to keep it simple cuz there are like 9 million different names. I was thinking like florida snow lol or flurries lol just pecking at names i dont know what do yall think

I think if you actally created a new varient of clownfish or snowflake then you vcould name it something new but since ora already has snowflakes and semi-snowflakes then you better stick with that

I agree with the fact of sticking with snowflake but if they trun out to be different then ORA's semi snowflakes im goign to have to give them their own name. My male has allot of black aorund the white and as far as ora's go i havent seen the black really come through even with adult snowflakes. I also notice that these guys are so tiny and the black border has already started. Bottom line is they are a snowflake variant, i just dont like the name semi snowflake and they might not be exactly snowflakes. The male is but some of the offspring have their own character. Either way the decision is up to me.I just through the question out there just to see responses. USF i do agree with you yet i also like the fact that since i produced them i have the right to name them anything I like. I will see how they trun out when they get older and make the decision when that time comesOther opinions would be greatly appreciated thanks USF

heres some at day 15

man, they are just so cute... LoLz...
