breeding

Some weeks ago I started playing with the idea of breeding and raising my own Artemia. The only fish store I have around me that carries them from time to time is 30km away and they rarely have Artemia of a quality I want to throw in my coral soup. But how would I breed them? I tried with one of...

If a wild caught clownfish breed in a aquarium, are the frys captive bred?

I’m located in Florida willing to pay for shipping. Looking for breeding pairs I don’t have currently. Normal Nemo’s, black snowflakes, Picasso’s of any sort. Please pm me if you have pairs.

So, I went to my LFS and got to know a really cool lady who unfortunately is moving on with her life outside of working at a fish store. But anyways we were talking and I was explaining the type of tank system I wanted to build. I was thinking a bookshelf with multi differing levels and sized...

I have always been fascinated with live feedings for fish, they really get to display their natural hunting behavior, so I thought maybe try bristleworms? I am thinking of setting up a separate bristleworm breeding tank used to feed an arrow crab and a neon dottyback, just wanted to share and...

This might sound stupid, but would it be possible to raise and breed brine shrimp in my refugium? The water parameters required by brine shrimp seem to line up with those in my marine system, I dose phytoplankton (Kent Marine PhytoPlex) four times a week, and my refugium is well sheltered with...

Hello all. I’m interested in breeding live food: mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods, and phytoplankton. Can y’all post some pictures of your equipment/setup and advice on what you need to get started.

My wife & I have been on a bit of a Diamond Watchman Goby (Valenciennea puellaris) breeding journey, and I think we're making some progress. I thought I'd share what we've been up to with the hive mind. We've got a batch that hatched out this morning. I'll update this thread with photos, videos...

Hello All, I've had a red, brittle starfish for a few months and recently saw about 10 miniature (Image 2 is one of the 10 starfish), clear brittle starfish emerge from a hole in my live rock under a hammer coral, ranging in size of 2-5 mm diameter. These little guys have been hanging in there...

Hello fellow saltines, Are there any CITES experts in the community? I happened to be on the website of a local saltwater/freshwater community and happened to see someone selling an Arowana. I have no interest in this fish but was curious as to who keeps them because I know they get large. I...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for any advice on breeding Mandarin Dragonets. I want to get a pair and cultivate my own copepods for their food. Would love to hear tips and tricks that other people have found as well as how much they food they needed to keep their fish and fry happy! Cheers to all!

I just put them in the same tank after putting them in small tank adjacent to each other they did not seem to be aggressive so I put them isn’t the same tank. I’ve had the blue one for a couple months now and 4 day ago I bought him a mate. I read the wiki how page about breeding beta fish and...

hi everybodies, so i finally have the time to raise my fish and here goes. my larval tank is about 3liters, it’s a black bucket with a bubbler so i’m raising neon gobies here’s a time line -fish hatches -i do a minor water change -i buy more rotifers for backup and put them into the tank - i...

Hello All, I am getting into breeding clownfish. I have 2 in a 75ltr/22g tank that are breeding on the back wall. I have a hatchery tank setup with same sal/temp. I am now setting up the roti/Phyto. My first question is, I want to add a tile so I can take it out. Do I put it where they...

Alright y'all, We have some crazy angelfish in stock right now. The newest addition to our availability is the Nebula Angelfish or the Xanthotis X Griffis Angelfish Hybrid. These came in looking amazing and no two look the same. These are some of the rarest angelfish in the world since their...

I just added two brand new species to our site and an old favorite! First we have the lyretail damselfish, these are actually very cool damsels that like to school in the mid level of the reef tank. The black and yellow pattern really stands out in a reef tank so much so that I put a school of...

Also on a side note I’m pretty sure that little snail next to it is a baby astrea if not please educate me as they all mated in my reef tank and I now have around 200-300 in my 100.3 reef tank.....LOL I love them tho picture of large group of them below

According to brineshrimpdirect SF strains of brine shrimp, they are smaller? Like the size of rotifers, could I use them as a first food because I have no luck with rotifers :3

I have enjoyed breeding these pairs and it is time to move on. shipping available: Actual Shipping Cost is non-refundable and will be deducted from any refund subject to the following conditions: SHIPPING INFO *shipper IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS including, but not limited to: carrier...

What can i use for conditioning banggai cardinals? i know chopped squid, mysis and even baby guppies??? If I bought baby saltwater mollies from my LFS would that still be the same as the guppies? would it have the same effect? and "wild" cherry shrimp, there are people in my area selling...

Ive had this pair of clowns for about 8 years, i love them as a pet. they have been going crazy at the rocks for a while now and i always thought it was algae they were after. i looked today and saw the male cleaning a big patch of eggs under their rbta! will they hatch in tank? i always dose...

Hey everyone, second time posting in here and everyone has been so helpful. I have recently purchased (2 weeks ago) a female spotted for my male, my male has been great with her there has been no fighting (fingers crossed ) other than the beginning for 20 sec or so I’m assuming that was...

I have a male naked triple dot ocellaris clown and a female snowflake ocellaris clown. They are both still pretty small, definitely not close to full grown size. But, will the eventually breed since they are both types of ocellaris?

We got 3 bangaiis today and put them in qt but we have no idea if they’re m/f/both. What do you think?? I put a coloured dot to represent each one if that helps I’ve looked at a bunch of pictures but can’t figure out the whole vent thing. I tried feeding them to see if it would help but they...

I had a lone ocellaris clown fish in my tank for about a year before getting a second clown to pair with it. The new clown I got was significantly smaller, about 1/3 the size of my existing clown. They seemed to pair up almost immediately with only some minimal aggression in the first day or...
