Alpha Aquaculture Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hey everyone! I've been MIA lately out partying, boating and having tons of fun! BUT BUT ... We have been grinding out here at the shop! Everything is going super great with the corals. And the clowns... We now have 12 egg laying pairs!!! Noticed a new sick pair laid eggs today and another female with her oviposter sticking out super far and she is super duper fat. Might get to 13 egg layers within the next few hours Link to comment

Alpha Aquaculture Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Did I miss the contest? Yea the contest was in October. I have a series of contests every October where I give away at least 4 pairs. I'll def be having another one in 11 months Link to comment
Alpha Aquaculture Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 So the two clowns in the video below have been laying off and on for the last 6 months but never any decent amount of eggs left. Usually they are gone the same day. Today I managed to catch some very interesting behavior on film. It seems the reason why she is not laying is the male. The incident is about a minute in if you don't care to watch the whole thing. Check it out! http://alphacorals.wistia.com/medias/cfbri9vk0n Please let me know what you think. Any advice?

rrcg50 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 your male wants to be a female adventurly they will fight it out to the death i would break the pair up and get a new male Link to comment
temper76 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 He's kind of protecting the nest,maybe like richie said he wants to be a female, Link to comment
Alpha Aquaculture Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Good news everyone! Just now I noticed they laid down a nice little nest of about 30 eggs, the most eggs the female has ever laid. Its interesting to me that she laid today when she was trying to lay last night. I was not expecting that. These two have been together now for around 14 months so they are totally bonded. I hope they don't continue to fight. They are a perfect match for each other and I'm not going to separate them so I guess we will see what happens. I haven't seen any fin damage or anything. I wonder if it was the males way of saying, "Wait! You're laying too early! Your eggs will be ready to lay tomorrow!" Link to comment
FishBro Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hey, are you still propagating corals? I don't see any on your site. JW Link to comment
Alpha Aquaculture Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Had to post this here too so everyone that subscribed can see Check out the different colors of scales on this clown. All of these scales are on the clownfish above Also, I took some videos of some of my bluest clownfish I know everyone will enjoy... The first video is of one of my clownfish with blue streaks http://alphacorals.wistia.com/medias/1f9urf1hlg The second video is of my most blue pair, its tough to see in the video but the blue is the brightest blue I've seen and the bands are the widest bands of blue I've seen. Its pretty ironic I went to video them and they happened to be laying!!! This is the second clutch they have had so far. The eggs from the first clutch looked very healthy and were fertilized and lasted until we let them hatch in their tank. This is the first time I have ever videoed them and they happened to be laying! Enjoy! http://alphacorals.wistia.com/medias/c4085zgz8c Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Check out the different colors of scales on this clown. All of these scales are on the clownfish above Kris! Great looking clowns! P.s. my pair is doing amazing by the way. Link to comment
