smitty_1280 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Cool video. I'm glad your hatches are going good! Quote Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Cool video. I'm glad your hatches are going good! Thanks man... now we got to get you there too! Quote Link to comment
smitty_1280 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Thanks man... now we got to get you there too! Lol, that is what I was thinking. I still can't figure out what my female ocellaris clownfish was doing the other night. It seriously looked like she was just dropping eggs while swimming which I know is really unlike clowns.

Pickle010 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 It's not often that I get photo updates on my clowns from people - but this pic was posted on another forum: Looks like it's going to be a pretty sweet snow. Quote Link to comment
smitty_1280 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Looks like it's going to be a pretty sweet snow. That is a sweet looking snow. When can I get one like that lol? Quote Link to comment

smitty_1280 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) Road Trip? Don't tempt me lol. My wife would probably love that, and I would spend to much money lol. Edit: From Auburn, WA to Terra Bella, CA, it is somewhere around 16 - 17 hours. Edited December 5, 2011 by smitty_1280 Quote Link to comment

If my fish is to ever die and I decided to get a new fish that was a clown it could only be Pickle's. Quote Link to comment

FishEyeAquaculture Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Good looking fish Pickle!!!! Quote Link to comment
Hoosierfan Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Awesome thread. I would love to eventually try my hand at breeding. I just have no idea what I would do with all those clownfish.... Quote Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 I have a hard time keeping them - most places I supply want them before I can get them to size. This last year especially has been good for tank raised clowns. Many of my local fish stores have expressed that they aren't getting enough clowns shipped in to meet demands and the tank bred clowns are needed to fill the demands. Quote Link to comment

Glad to see it is the same in California as it is here in Florida. This is also great news for marine aquaculture in general! Hopefully, other species will be in high demand just as clownfish have been this year. Edited December 5, 2011 by FishEyeAquaculture Quote Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 I have to believe that as we get more proficient in breeding those other species that the awareness and the demand will rise. I don't know what's been going on but a lot of the wholesalers I've talked to in Los Angeles have all been saying that the numbers on wild caught coming in have been low and many of the ones that are making it in are not looking healthy. They all have their speculations on why that is but all agree that tank raised hands down is the way to go. Quote Link to comment

That is very sad news, but at the same time good news for breeders or those of us looking to start breeding lol. Quote Link to comment

From what I understand the problem isn't in the harvesting / collection. I honestly don't know what's going with them but they've been saying there at a lot of DOA's in the shipments - which really is sad. The numbers in the wild are still strong, but for whatever reason they aren't shipping well and handling the stress. Quote Link to comment
