Marine clownfish

Hi all, ive been a bit quiet here on TASA of late as ive been fortunate enough to finally get my pair of marine clownfish to spawn and after MANY MANY hours of frustration, I have managed to raise up 3 batches of offspring. I know these fishes are not freshwater, but I thought id show you guys what these little guys look like now.

Enjoy, btw these are Frenatus clowns aka tomato clowns.

 

Hey @pHish_man they are really nice dont know much about marine but these must be a ton of work to grow out that nice.

 

Stunning @pHish_man !!! Well done!!!!

 

AMAZING ANDREW!!!

 

Very very well done!

 

Thanks for all the kind words guys ( and girls )

Some more pics for some Sunday afternoon browsing:

 

Thought id share a pic of an 18 day old clownfish about to nail a live brineshrimp.........

 

Beautiful!!

 

Cool man so u do tropical and salt water at the same time? I don't know how u manage ur time between the two

 

Hahahaha, easy..............im a bachelor!!

 

Lol that makes sense don't have to manage ur time between ur hobbies and wifey

 

Hi @pHish_man,

They are so cute!!!!
Really well done!!

 

Really nice what they look like at such a small size.

What did you use as their first food?

 

First food is Rotifers that are fed phytoplankton, which contain the necessary lipids the larvae need to develope. Around 2 weeks I start adding a powder food obtained from Prof Dirk as well as finely crushed bs flake.

 

Hey guys, been a bit quiet here but still lurk around from time to time when I get a moment. My clownfish project has consumed pretty much most of my free time and with water restrictions here in the Cape, ive scaled down on my angelfish breeding. Instead ive set out to create new lines of angels with awesome finnage ( will start a thread shortly about these guys ) as well as growing out a new batch of para free discus.

But in the meantime, here is a photo of a small batch of clowns around 4 months old:

 

Nice to see you back @pHish_man !!!

Those little clowns are just too adorable!!! Congratulations.. well done!!

We look forward to some updates on what you have been getting up to

congrats

 

Nice...
