I am just wondering who has the most inches of fish per gallon. And if they have any problems or have to do anything maintenance,etc. becuase they have so many fish.
Thanks for anyone that replies!
NO FLAMING!

Yep. I can assure you that they are only temporarily housed in the 10.

Great color on those fry! I worked at a distributor, wish I had some pics. 500 damsels in a 50 breeder was a weekly occurrence.

This is off the original topic but I have to ask; Bang Guy, do they always come out that color? That has got to be the first variation I've seen that I liked, and I like them a lot. I remember that you do quite a bit of breeding so maybe you already know this. If you breed one of those with that color with it's mother you should actually create a new strain. Just separate the male from their mom and put 5 of those fry in with her and let her pick a mate. The resulting brood will be an actual strain with that color and breeding any of those fry will result in 100% that color. Amphiprion Bangguyus.

That's interesting and I did not know that.
They are all that color for about 2 years. At the 2 year point about 1/2 will become mostly black while the rest maintain their juvenile coloration.
I have one strain I would like to produce though. It's a Clown with a Grey 3rd stripe. Perhaps I will attempt the strain maintenance procedure you suggested. Do you think it's worth the effort?

Genetics isnt that clear-cut, most organisms are FAR more complex than Mendel's peas....and to be considered a new species they must be incapable of interbreeding with viable offspring...which wouldnt be the case.
