New Clowns

[al&burke]

I couldn't resist - these guys were on sale for 10 bucks each. My QT has been running for a while - so here they are, they will eventually go in the 40B which is empty except for two sexy shrimp.

very nice.....I love clowns

They're beautiful.

Thanks guys, they have been together since I put them in the QT. Nice little guys they wouldn't eat mysis but they sure went after the cyclops. I hope to have a couple of breeding pairs to try raising clown fry (or larvae). Now I am on the hunt for a female Banggai - any tricks on finding a female Bang Guy, all the one's at the LFS are small.

Buy 3. Keep them in a quaranteen tank with your male until they pair up. Give away anyone that your male fights with.

Just to give you an idea on how fast they mature, I once found a bunch of fry in a grow-out tank. The oldest fish in the tank was 6 months old. So, a small female will have no problem breeding with a much larger male.

Sounds like a plan, thank you my friend.

I bought these fake coral for next to nothing, so far every fish that has been in the QT seem to like them. I would never think of putting it in my reef though. Thanks for looking luvmyreef

The clowns look great. Are you going to try your hand at breeding them?

Yes I am - I have a nice pair of Osc. in my reef right now that are over 2 years old - the female keeps cleaning an area - I think they should be spawning soon. I want to set up an area in my basement for raising them. I still need to do a lot of research and start growing some rotifiers for them and green water for the rotifiers. Thanks for looking Krista
