I'm still very busy and was out of town this past weekend. I noticed today that my clownfish count went down. Then I found one small baby in the overflow. He went through a small hole of the breeder box that was meant for a divider. I blocked the hole by installing the divider. Clowns are 15 weeks old now. I'm battling algae and might be moving the babies to the 10 gallon tank that's still running. The sponge in the first photo is actually for the grow out tank when the clowns are ready to be moved. I'm seeding it with bacteria.
It's nearly impossible to tell by looking at the pictures but quite a few clowns are showing more Onyx traits than last week.

16 weeks old today. Time flies.

They grow up so fast LOL. Looking good

Any signs of black yet?

A couple of them show it but it's not anything significant. If I didn't cull aggressively like I did here I'd probably have more black ones.

I thought about getting a pair of Ocellaris clowns in addition to my breeding Percula pair but decided to go with....a pair of Blue Rams instead!! I have somewhat limited freshwater fish experience and wanted to expand my knowledge this way.

Xmas day update. 17 weeks old. Smaller ones are finally starting to catch up in size.

vikinglord13 · 01/01/2017, 05:22 PM

This is pretty exciting to follow. I'm hoping to breed one day so thank you for documenting your experience.

Now that your pair is hosting the anemone, how do you plan to raise the next batch of eggs?

When I'm ready to breed again I'll just put a tile next to the anemone for clowns to lay eggs.
I'm not breeding at the moment for two reasons. First, I've been traveling a lot which leaves me no time to culture rotifers and feed newly hatched larvae. Second, I want to see how the current batch develops in terms of color. It's a small sample size but it should give me a clue.
I say 2-3 more months and I should be ready to raise more babies.

Thanks for following the thread.

18 weeks old. Everybody is doing good.

CoralsAddiction · 01/04/2017, 06:23 PM

The breeding male looking good!! Wish there was a clownfish show akin to AKC dog show. He would win True Percula contest easily. Lol

AD87 · 01/04/2017, 10:11 PM

These babies are going to be perfect! I wish I could take some.
