Clownfish Fry Raising Journal Update 05/24/12

Here's some quick video's of one of our fry with it's first stripe. We have another that has two but can't get a good shot of him. The second is our hatch from about a week ago. Both are not the best quality since they were shot from my iPhone. Also added some pics.

Saawwweat

 

Awesome congrats

 

Here are a few more pics of the fry with two stripes.

 

That is so cool!

So when is the next hatch? Are you going to try and keep the next one?

 

Thanks Corailline! We had a hatch on 5/24 and currently have about 15 going through meta. We've improved (so far) each of the last 4 attempts. Another hatch is scheduled for 6/6.

 

Oh man, you guys are really going for it. Excellent.

 

I'm curious how you are hatching your eggs - Are you cathing fry from the broodstock tank or are you pulling a pot / tile and hatching in a seperate tank? If you are pulling them - What kind of air stone are you using on the eggs?

 

We are pulling a pot, and by pot we mean a pirate skull lol. It's not the easiest thing to aerate because it isn't flat and/or uniform like a pot or tile. We don't want to swap it out because this is our only breeding pair and we don't want to screw it up and go without eggs for an unknown amount of time. These two fish were actually the first two saltwater fish (besides a couple of damsels) that we bought when we got into the hobby. And we bought them at Petco believe it or not!

The stone I'm using is a little cheapy one from Petco... It comes free with their brand of air pumps.

 

Did some damage! Lol



Haven't picked up the fresh sea food or vegetables yet. Gonna blend a little bit of everything together and freeze it for easy feeding.
