Yes every 2 weeks..[/QUOTE
Does this mean they lay eggs that often ? How often are the young born ? Seems like some very busy little fishes. I've thought about getting a mated pair to try out breeding but just to see the cycle of life occuing in my tank. Seems like that would be fascinating !

 

[joebuckmaster]

They lay eggs every 12 days and hatch 8 days after that like clock work. I have some that are going to hatch tommorrow night.

Man that seems like a lot of work. Have you been able to trade or sell any yet? I'm wanting my percs to breed but I don't know if my LFS could take that many that often. It is a pretty small community.

By the way cool pics please keep em comin.

Hey, Joebuckmaster...where in IL are you? I don't have a tank yet but hope to have one set up within the year. I'd love to get some tank raised clownfish from you if you are selling your babies.

I am about 35-40 miles east of St.louis. I will sell when they all get big enough. I have about 3 that will be ready in about 2 months and then I will have some every 2 weeks after that I have a lot of babies in my basement that keep getting bigger and bigger everyday. Also mom and dad just keep going at it like the "ENERGIZER" bunny

 

[nixpack]

Oh, I'm about a 4 1/2 hour drive from you as I'm about 30 southwest of Chicago. Still, when I get my tank going it might be worth a drive.
Have any new pictures you can share with us?

Very nice work on the babies!!!!!

but first you have to have willing clowns

Hey JoeBuck, How did you aquire the pair? Did you purchase them as a pair first or did you buy 1 and as it got bigger, you added another smaller clown and they nicely coupled up?
That picture with the small fries are NICE !! Good job!!! all that studying sure pays off!!
Please post more pics, would love to see them! Do you have any pics of your main tank with the happy pair in it that you could post????????????
