my clownfish breeding challenge

[swissgaurd]

For those that know me.i like to experiment.
over the years ive had many clownfish that layed eggs ,but ive never taken it to the next level
except for the bangai cardinals. I finally did it with a little help from Hubert @ REEF AQUATICA.
I madeup a pair of a black oc and a black onyx , layed eggs then they hatched,then I had another pair of black onyx start to lay .both pairs ive had for 3 yrs and I know the origin from where there from.

this has been the most rewarding part of the hobby for me in the past 27 yrs that ive been reefing.
the ages range from 20 days to 172 days

Nice job. I have a few spawning pairs. Waiting for next spawn to raise the babies. 3rd time the charm

 

[swissgaurd]

what kind of clowns do you have

 

[president89]

Spawning picassos, darwins, darwin x black snowflake, and snowflakes. Sorry 4 pairs.

I didn't keep this batch but was pretty cool just to watch them hatch
