breeding

Anyone have experience raising mantis shrimp larva? I had a spawn of ~100 in my 10g isolation tank and want to know if I can keep them alive. I put some newly hatched brine shrimp in there but they don't seem to be going for them. I have two mantis shrimp in the tank, a red one and a black/blue...

I had a few spectacles and sharing one of them now ... will share more (if you share your clips!) I found my 22" Colorado Sunburst spawning ... did not see any babies ... only have 1 Nem! In past my RFAs mass-spawn resulting in many beautiful babies that grew up to adults ... I have clips of...

Hi people. I'm so glad of finding thos space because it has been very hard for me to learn y do My Best on My acuarium. Last May a bought a 50 LTS tank, an the seller gave it to me with 1 Tang, a Clown, an Gobyy, and a other. During theses months almos all fishes have died only the clown is...

Came home from work today to see my clowns busily tending a clutch of eggs in their corner of the tank. It’s pretty cool to see them at work, and it’s a pretty decent sized patch - provably a circle about 2” in diameter. My question is - what are the odds we could get any survivors? There’s a...

As the title states. $300 Shipped. Fully Quarantined. I see sites selling extreme coloration juveniles for $180 and this is a spawning pair. Thank you! I have other pairs as well I’ll be listing: Black Darwin with an Extreme Frostbite Spawning pair. Black Storm Pair not spawning yet

My clownfish have recently started spawning and the eggs hatch about 8 days in I get a few hundred but the majority of fry are tiny almost 4 times smaller than the big ones which if I’m lucky I get 10 but the rest are small fry. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or has a solution...

I've been trying to breed these fish for the past two years, and have finally recently had some success. About a year ago, I got two pairs from BluezooAquatics and they came in super healthy. Greg is a great guy on the phone and super accommodating. I suggest checking their business out. After...

So happy I was able to catch this, happened after I did a water change. I wonder how many of them will survive, such cool creatures! Micro Brittle Starfish Releasing Eggs If anyone wants a free starfish in the Bay Area I got you...

Hi everyone! I was just recently put in charge of filefish husbandry at the wetlab I work at and was wondering if any one had any tips. There isn’t a lot online on how to get them to breed so if anyone has anything on preferred diet or their spawning behavior that would be super helpful!

I’ve had this trap for a while and my clownfish are on their 8th batch now and I can only manage to get 5 fry each time while I see hundreds of eggs I only have clowns in my tank and a royal gramma I place the trap on the opposite side of the eggs and the eggs are on a rock

Hi everyone I have a pair of percula clownfish I’m trying to pair I’ve had the female for about 5-6 months and then found another one I’ve been looking for that was a bit smaller than her, when I put the smaller one in the tank with her the smaller one tried to go in the pot but she wouldn’t let...

Hi, I just joined reef2reef today and new to saltwater tank. I have a black saddleback clownfish and a semi-onyx percula clownfish. My question is, is it possible for them to breed once they mature? Or at least bond? Because the saddleback is 2.5inch and is bullying the other which is 1.5inch...

I’m currently raising a few clownfish fry around 8 are left but their stomachs seem to be bigger than the rest of their body almost twice the size or bigger. If any one has or had this problem and knows the solution would be a great help

Hello again Reef2Reef Members, my name is Jasper and I posted here a few months ago about Bangaii breeding, see my profile for further history. Tldr I have a pair of breeding Bangaii, first birth the father spewed many of his eggs early but I caught them. I got some great knowledge from the...

I’m QTing/Holding some livestock from my Dad’s tank that I’ve broken down. I have a variety of snails, hermits, a mated pair of clowns and a wrasse. I’ve found on the PVC pipes what looks to me like eggs. Anyone know who’s eggs they are?

So I currently have two clowns in my 110-gallon tank that I added on 7/12, and yesterday I added a blue tang and a purple firefish goby. I currently feed one cube of mysis (1/2 2x daily) and starting yesterday added some nori sheets although tang hasn't seemed interested in it yet, shes eaten...

Hi there, my name is Jasper and I have run into a breeding question that I thought the fine folk here on Reef2Reef could help me with. First time breeder here, tank specs are on my profile but I do have two Bangaii Cardinals in the tank now that are the subject of this post. I have a Male...

Hey all, I added about 10 berghia into my tank at the end of March. After nearly 3 months I have 5 left. Absolutely no new ones running about, most seemed to end up in the over flow and in the sump. I have since proceeded to collect all the ones I can find in the sump, they have done a good job...

We have a female gold nugget maroon clown fish paired with a gold stripe maroon male. We've been waiting for her to turn yellow and in December she was white with black on the bottom (she was fully white before) and now she is pretty much black..... we're not sure why or what could of...

Hi all I took a pair of breeding storm clowns from My lfs about 1.5 years ago. They were laying regularly at the lfs. Moved them to their own 75l tank and they stopped laying. I have seen them lay eggs a couple Of weeks ago but the female ate them by midday the next day. This is the second time...

First post - I wanted to share this oddity of starry blennies spawning in less than ideal conditions and observations about the pair in general. This might be of interest to anyone interested in pairing starries. There wasn't too much information I could find on either pairing them or breeding...

I got a hole in my rhodactis. I have no idea how it could have torn at all, I haven't touched it in the last few months. I have a theory that he's trying to split, since the mouth is partially divided. Is that how he's dividing or is he really hurt? Should I split it in half with a blade? (It is...

I have a pair of clowns that have been hiding a lot more recently. I have double checked triple checked for signs of disease but see nothing. They have a good appetite and come out when I approach the tank. One hides in the back and another between the rock structure. I noticed that maybe both...

(sorry if this is a duplicate to the question post i made a little earlier, im not terribly experienced with a true forum format yet) Hello! forgive my possible lack of candor, I'm totally inexperienced in the realm of saltwater enclosures, but I do have a crazy idea (ahhh yes, the classic...

Hi There, my clown fish pair laid eggs 5 days back. The eggs are still on the rock and deem to be developing... Would they hatch and babies survive in tank like mine? i changed 30% water today, i change 25% every 3 weeks... My tank is 8 foot long and 24 inch by 24 inch Powerheads on both...
