If all goes well with my latest clutch, and if you want them, I'll send you a pair of my BA P1 helmet Picasso x Rod's Onyx babies (for freeeeee!):

Thanks for the offer :-) Those are absolutely gorgeous babies. Looks like I might have to make room for two of them when they are ready :-)
I can return the favor and send you a pair of my babies for free as well :-)

My pair hasn't laid eggs in the last 7-10 days because I went back to LED (Radion) from T5. Photo period has been about an hour longer until I just matched it to previous light schedule tonight. On top of the lighting change I also moved around some rocks, placed the anemone to DT then removed it to QT for treatment. All of these changes must have thrown the breeding pair off but I expect them to resume laying eggs in the next several weeks.

The anemone has done absolutely terrific in QT so far. It's been 5 days. 2 more days to go.
The issue is the breeding pair has been cleaning the flower pot and is getting ready to lay eggs. Putting the anemone in the tank will once again disrupt their breeding cycle. However, the clowns seem to always bounce back quickly in their new environment.

I've been incorporating some frozen food in their diet. The juveniles started out with oyster eggs which they very much enjoyed. For the last two days or so I've been feeding the baby clowns mini mysis shrimp. They like it a lot.

Did a 25% water change yesterday and changed the aquascape.

The anemone is ready to come out of QT

Wow the nem is looking really good. The clowns look like they are enjoying it as well.

Thank you. They are extremely happy. They've been going back and forth between the anemone and the pot feeling a little conflicted :-)

Nine weeks old today. There's a good chance I have an Onyx-Picasso or Semi-Picasso in the making. One guy's middle stripe is wide on the top suggesting a Picasso pattern.

Here's a video of clowns eating frozen food. It's a mixture of mini mysis and eggs. I am dumping all of this info in here so that people getting into breeding can use part of what I've done so far in their home breeding program as well.

I finally took out the flower pot and let the clowns be in their anemone.

Here are the babies at 13 weeks. Patiently waiting for colors to develop but it looks like I might have a couple of Onyx in the group (based on my observations of their pigments; hard to see in the video). Only time will tell but I am itching to raise another clutch in a month or two. Still got a lot of traveling to do in the next several weeks.

Received a new breeder box from premium aquatics. It's a little smaller than the one I'm currently using. Still traveling a lot and no time for a new batch.

Here they are at 14 weeks old. Light started to turn blue so the pics are a little darker
