Weeeeee got a free 4L bottle of 1 molar CaCl2 from work (out of date for lab use...). Anyone have any idea how much I would need to use to bring the Ca up? ie 24g tank bringing it up by 50.

This would have been a good shot if the neon hadn't have shot to the front of the tank at the sight of the camera (camera whore). My YWG is sat in the neons spot right at the top of the tank. The neon was staring him out and not very happy lol

That's really cool! Is it the yellow mass next to Dad?

 

Yep! That's it. It kinda of flows and moves with the current. Really cool to watch!

First batch hatched and I saw just one about 2mm long behind my ammoalert. When I tried to net it it got away and my female clown ate it!! :( Free fish food though :)

 

It's really surprising me that they have thrown out (at least) two clutches of eggs as the female does not have her "mature" colouration yet...

 

It's really funny watching the my female YWG give the clowns a run for their money when they get too close! For a peaceful fish they are really aggressive when defending their eggs!

Nope didn't save any. I wasn't prepared enough really. All prepared this time though! Female is looking like a fat little jelly bean again!

Nothing much going on at the moment. Mama YWG is getting fatter and papa YWG is clearing out a new cave (not as accessible as the last one :( ).

 

I think mama clown is full of eggs. She is HUGE! Just take a look at this!

Sorry, bit boring, I know...

 

Just waiting for them to burp now. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. They haven't had salmon before so who knows...

Those Duncan feeding pics are awesome. What do you noramally feed them and how do you keep your other tank mates from stealing there food. My LFS is gonna frag me a head off of there Duncan colony this week. I'm pretty excited.

My female clown hosts the duncans so nothing is allowed near them ;) My boy clown stands guard on the hammer :)

 

Duncans are great. They look very much like nems when they are happy. When I got mine I had 8 heads. I think there are now 17!! And I have only had them about 3 months...
