sweet<3 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Ok so not the best pics in the world, but I just wanted to update. Here is what hatched from the last batch of eggs that was laid before the tank disaster. Almost all of the eggs hatched and I have probably 80-100 babies =) (these pics only show a small portion): Fish balls are soooo cute Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 How big are those little guys? Link to comment
sweet<3 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 These guys are TINY! I tried to put a toothpick in for reference, but it freaked them out and they all swam away from it haha. I will try to take some decent shots with size reference and post tomorrow EDIT: In the first pic you can see the end of the heater in the bottom corner. Not sure if that helps show how small they are! Link to comment

sweet<3 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 You're right that would be awesome! I better get on the ball and start catchin up haha. I love how cute they are when they are small, but at the same time I wish I could will them to grow faster... Link to comment

The onyx percs from the last page? Link to comment
sweet<3 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hey you may be on to something Yea these are from the onyx percs. Once the new system is set up I should have onxy X platinum babies to raise. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hey you may be on to something Yea these are from the onyx percs. Once the new system is set up I should have onxy X platinum babies to raise. Just a thought, but maybe you could try feeding them nutramar ova. It's super calorie packed so maybe it would give them enough energy to grow faster. Are the darwin x extreme snowflake looking like they're going to spawn? I would LOVE a baby from that to pair with my darwin. Link to comment
sweet<3 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Ya that's definitely an idea. I'm not sure how soon they would be able to eat it though. These guys are SUPER tiny. I can't recall how large the nutrimar ova particles are.... might be worth feeding it to them once they are big enough though. And the darwin x extreme are showing breeding behavior (cleaning the pot), so hopefully they get with the program soon I have been praying to the clownfish God of fertility, so hopefully that helps....

Perhaps you should show them clownfish porn to get them in the mood Link to comment
sweet<3 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Haha if only I could find some!! So here are more pics as promised. Ordinary toothpicks for size reference. Here are the first batch of babies: Here are the newest babies: Link to comment
siwelk Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 About 8mm? Better call one Nic Cage. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Aww they're so cute! The older batch is looking good! Are any of them showing a third stripe yet? I can't tell in the pics. About 8mm? Better call one Nic Cage. ^ Link to comment
sweet<3 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 I think two of them have little white spots at the top of where the third stripe will be. So its starting to happen Link to comment
ericm1205 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thanks for telling me your name. All I need is to be talking to my wife about breeding clowns and I tell her about your progress and I tell her that sweetheart is doing a good job at clowns...... Conversation won't end well for me. Lol!! Beautiful pics! Wish I could take decent pics. What kind of camera u using? You breeding onyx right? What types of food you using? Do you have alot of missbars? My last batch was almost all missbars. My last batch hatched on Easter and have yet to get their black other than the outlines of the white. Although one or 2 are turning a little grey in their midsections. Takes a long time for the onyx to color up, but they are so worth it. Can't wait to have more rods onyx babies. Link to comment

Haha ya now that you mention it that might be a little awkward I am using a Canon Rebel XSi. I really haven't figured it out yet haha. But its getting better. I thought the four fish from my first hatch would all be misbars, but as time goes by the stripes are filling out so I'm not actually sure how they will look Yes I'm breeding onyx I'm not looking forward to waiting for the black to develop :S I feed a variety of flake/pellet/frozen. To be honest I don't even remember all of the food I mixed into their feed. A little of everything I had lying around haha. Link to comment
dfcn07 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Awesome! Thanks for documenting and keeping us all up to date with your clown fish breeding adventure! I'll have to track this topic to see how your little clown fish babies are doing. Maybe you might get lucky and breed an awesomely mutated new clown fish that's worth more than that one lightning clown fish. Link to comment
