breeding

Okay, I am totally new to this forum but have a 55-gallon saltwater aquarium and a totally interesting situation! I have a banggai and pajama cardinal and didn't even think them breeding was possible or likely, but my banggai cardinal has been acting strange- not eating, staying in a corner...

Hey R2R, We're happy to announce we've had another breakthrough on a brand new species. Before we officially announce it let's get some guesses from the R2R community! Check out the first two photos below:

Hi guys, to get most storm babies, should I pair my male black storm with a female Darwin or another black storm, pls help me guys, thx

I ordered “bergiah” early this year With hopes of starting a nudibranch culture to deal with aptasia. I decided to order a pair from 3 different vendors in order to diversify my genetics. I believe I received 3 entirely different species. It seems one group was truly berghia, but I can’t seem...

I have just seen that my nassarius snails are laying eggs in my tank and I was wondering what I need to do to get these to hatch. I know that my fish will eat alot of them but they have laid some in an are my fish can't get too, the gap is too small for the fish to get into, so they should be...

10 gallon Aqueon tank with a 5 gallon drum cut to about 10.25" length to act as a kreisel, sealed with silicone cured for 48 hours. Two windows that are 120 micron nylon mesh of about 4" by 3". Adjustable submersible pump/filter hybrid connected with two feet of 1/2" inner diameter silicone...

I’ve only seen this twice in the past 2 months. At night maybe an hour after the lights go off, hundreds of baby mysis shrimp are floating in the water column. Is this some sort of hatching event or something?

Just saw my Emerald crabs mate and release, what looked like eggs into the water column. Don't mind the cheesy music

Just saw my Emerald crabs mate and release, what looked like eggs into the water column. I have a video, I'll post soon

So I've just been looking at my tank and noticed I have baby trochus snails on my glass, they're so small I nearly scraped them off thinking they where something else. I can tell they are trochus by the banded shell. I was just wondering if there was anything I needed to/could do to help make...

Good evening all and hope everyone is doing well! I just paired a wonderful clownish couple and was thinking my next step to get a anemone for them? I have a great local fish store that I will buy from and was wondering if you have any good tips for the pair and anemone top thrive? I have a...

Hi all just wondering if anyone got any experience on here in buying and raising aptasia eating berghia nudibranch Eggs to deal with Aiptasia control, my display is free of aips but I want to deal with the ones on the weir and in the sump. And am definitely not sending my CP in there as is thigh...

Hi, quick question about the process. I have the vossens larval trap and plan to raise my first batch of clown fry. When I shut off all equipment the night of hatching, do I need to have a bubbler/air stone blowing over the eggs for the couple hours at night? Or just leave everything how it...

I had a large female ocellaris clownfish by herself for about a month and added a much smaller ocellaris clownfish about 5 months ago. Back when the larger female had a "bonded" male (before he passed away), they would be next to each other all the time. While the female did not kill the new...

Hello my name is Jon I have always been into aquariums since a young age. However only been into the salt side of things for about a year and a half. I sure have moved quickly in that short amount of time went from the easy stuff all the way to the hard stuff as far as corals go. Then just as...

Hello everyone, Finally, I can post again after a long break! Last 12 months were absolutely insane in the right way, but I could barely keep up with all my projects. And today, it's a perfect day, and I can show you the results of 18 months of work, learning, testing and researching. ;Pompus...

my clowns have ich and are going to into QT along with my tang all have ich will be treating with copper will the clowns still have a chance to breed in the future or will the copper kill their chances of reproduction?

hey guys, so my girlfriends been begging me to try and breed our clown fish we have saddle back and ocerellis clown in our mini reef weve had them for months now with an bubble tip anemone that they both hang out in, unfortunately no luck on the eggs yet is it possible something is eating them...

Breeding - Raising juvenile clownfish have some challenges especially when there's 30 to 70 in one grow-out tank, that is not drilled. Feeding numerous times a day, and fish waste can raise the level of nitrites. So I find myself doing daily water changes, or dripping just RO water to lowered...

Sorry to say that these babies will not last long... About 4 months ago, we moved this pair of clowns into our display tank and they have adopted my Red BTA...and made a home! We'll watch this progress and post an update or so along the way.

this morning I noticed several cerith snails on the glass. I counted six separate egg strands. I haven't paid attention to how many strands show up at the same time before. Anyone have experience with synchronized breeding in these guys?

I first started my reef tank in October 2017, with two clownfish and a damsel, and now (February 2018) I have the same two clowns, same damsel, with an addition of a Valentini puffer and two chromis. My clown fish have always been like a cute little couple, I’ve never seen them fight and one is...

So it's nearly 5 months since this Chromis was born. I'm not trying to rear anymore batches until the temperature gets warmer (I cant keep anything other than my main system at a solid temps). This guy is in one of the tanks attached to my DT sharing a section with a clownfish, but separated...

Thinking about getting some Banggai Cardinals and see if I can breed them for fun. How do I know if they are male or female when I head to my lfs. Thanks!

So, I am trying to breed red mandarins (successfully bred green mandarins, now trying these guys out), and I have them in a macroalgae tank. I do plan to put some photosynthetic gorgonians, but I realize that might eat my fry. I am adding the Golden Plume gorgonian and Purple Cactus gorgonian...
