SRC Member Snoopyhamburger Posted August 28, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted August 28, 2014 Increase temp by 2 degrees,add in lots of micro fauna,and keep them with less aggressive fish. IME Quote steak pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Snoopyhamburger Posted August 28, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted August 28, 2014 I cultivated mine myself. You can find them in live rock. Various pods are referred to as "Microfauna" Quote steak pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvin f.h Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi snoopy they have breed ones but after that they eat all e eggs back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Snoopyhamburger Posted October 16, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hey,right after they lay the eggs,i remove them and place them in a seperate tank[the ones with the plastic cover,you can often find these and are imexpensive] Then,I would remove the cover,and cover it with something translucent,eg tracing paper. Then,place a low watt bulb above the tracing paper,then turn it on.This will simulate the moon,and also help the fry to find their food,which in this case,is artemia or baby brine shrimp. Just a heads up,the eggs will hatch only at night,so watch out for that bit. Feed them frequently,then transfer them into a larger tank when they have grown in sizes. Continue till they have reached Adulthood Cheers Quote steak pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaohao85 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 When you remove the eggs from the tank? I read the net and many had varies hatch day .. am worried I will pull the eggs out too early .. Based on my reading, is recommended that the live rock or tile to be left inside the breeding tank with the pair as they will keep it aerated and clean. On the day of hatch, use a small dim torch to shine the surface of the tank and use a cup to scoop up the fries and transfer them to a nursery tank ... Share ur experience and some do's and dont's .. am trying to breed my clowns now .. they are doing the courtship ritual already but yet to lay any eggs .. need to get myself prepared This is my pair of clowns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo-jojo Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi thanks for all e advise. But my is they lay and eat on e spot. Sad... try and not disturb the spawning pairs even like walking pass yr tank might spook them , they might or might not eat the eggs which in your case they did.

Most people remove the eggs on hatch night , u wont want to go tru the trouble of catching the frys with your torch n scoop. Feeding the fry would be your next headache but u should be able to get them from the sponsor forums. they might be showing courtship but it might take them quite awhile to start spawning GDluck !
