Originally Posted by chasar I transfered the eggs tonight. They are in the 10 gal tank and I have the air stone under the heater. I have the heater and stone on the back wall of the tank and the part of the LR with the eggs is in the front, does this make a difference? I usually had the...

My pair is at least 14 and still spawning. The shed aquarium (Chicago) had a maroon that was over 30.. May still be around which would make it closer to 35-40.

Originally Posted by chasar Thanks for the advise. No eggs as of yet. Rod, can you PM me with a phone number, so I can contact you. I would like to be able to make it up this weekend if it is possible on both your and my end. If not I know it will be after the holidays. Sent. If I dont...

Originally Posted by scoobydue4 The larval tank should be close to 80f. put an airstone under the heater to distribute the heat evenly because the larva will go to the warmest part of the tank and the hot heater will kill them if they linger around it. Also cover the light on the heater with...

Originally Posted by chasar Well came home tonight to an empty rearing tank. All of the fry have died from this batch. The only thing that I can assume is the temp in my DT is 80 and so is the temp in the 10 gal. hatch tank. the 3 gal rearing tank is 78. I am thinking this is the problem...

Originally Posted by chasar fry was 12 days old. I have to get through the Baby Brine shrimp stage with this next batch. I believe that after that I am on frozen cyclopeaze. ROD or BANG or anyone else with knowledge- what help can you offer for me to get through this stage? What do I need...

Originally Posted by swimmer4uus Wanted to share. Sorry the picture quality isn't the best, my normal camera isn't working so I took it with my phone. Also got a black and white perc in there too about a month ago. So far they're real friendly with each other and the black and white seems to...

Originally Posted by mie Now you have two, I am sure you know a splitting anenome is a sign of stress. Good luck. Yes, usually so, but not always a need for concern. (Sometimes so, but not always.) That stress could be from many different things. Something as simple as a large water change...

Originally Posted by PerfectDark This is awesome I am almost inspired to raise a fry if and when mine start spawning. Quick question rod or anyone... After the clownfish have become a pair how long does it usually take for them to mate? Is there a general span of time or is it just when ever...

Originally Posted by Keri [hr] So the eggs dissapeared on night 7 (hatched and eaten I'm assuming) and now, a couple of days later there are MORE than ever! Is this going to keep happening over and over? Is it ok for the fish? Yes, you should see a new batch of eggs about every 14 days, and...

Originally Posted by chasar I have not had a lot of time to check into the fry today. I can only see one in my 3 gal. I guess that the transfer did not go too well. The eggs are looking good in the DT, at least double the first batch. I plan to set up culturing baby brine this weekend and I...

Originally Posted by chasar Update. All the eggs have hatched. I have a total of 5 fry in the tank. I have taken the LR that the eggs were on and transfered it back to the DT. I have two tiles, 1 2x2 and 1 4x4 that I put in the Clowns corner along with a small flower pot. The tank is back...

Originally Posted by Sula I've seen many ocellaris and true percs choosing a BTA for a host. It's not a combination found in nature, so I think it can take longer, but eventually they do decide to move in I have 2 ocellaris with an RBTA Good answer :) A BTA is not a natural host to...

Originally Posted by Keri Thanks! Eliminating the phyto cul;ture makes it seem a little easier, I may try that. What type of tile would be best? I like to use the cheapest white ceramic tile that you would put on your bathroom wall. I mostly use 6x6 tiles but a few of may pairs only have room...

Originally Posted by chasar So the fry being this small will be fine with the next batch? But when they are two months old or so the will start eating fry this small? The reason that you only keep one gallon of water? I am gonna guess that it is so that the fry have a better chance of eating...

Originally Posted by chasar The bottles are not sold, at least not to me. I am almost positive that she is just giving them away. She seems to be very nice, I have talked to her once for ten minutes or so at eddies. I do plan to join her club as it should only be beneficial. I was thinking...

Originally Posted by chasar I have noticed that the eggs have more silver in them around the eyes today, hope this is a good thing. I have several bottles of rotifers that come froma woman that has set up a marine club in the area. I have some Kent Marine PhytoPlex that I will put in the tank...
