Baby Clownfishes and their tiny GBTA

Ms. Mermaid · Sep 27, 2013

Really wish this guy would hurry up and split I need a small one to go in with my baby clownfish they have now out grown the little green bta that I had put in there with them and they love it so much they keep pushing the other ones out of it so they can get in thereâ€¦

Thanks... They took to the gbta's like no tomorrow I was really shocked.... But learned later on that they do this in the wild like shortly after they are hatched.

Iv always found that clowns take to them better when they are young.In the wild they have to or they will get snatched up by a larger fish!

Here is a little short video of them in the tiny gbta:

I really need to get a bigger nem for them.
Also over the weekend I took out the runts and put them in their own tank so hopefully they will catch up to their siblings in size. Never new that fish have runts in them like dogs & cats do when they have their litters.

Of course, some are at the higher end of the gene pool, while others are lower. Darwins law holds true for everything

Hyper little guys arent they....do you feed them speed or was that a fast motion video?

Just feed the TDO -B2. I think they just get super hyper when they are fast playing in the nem otherwise they swim at a regular pace. Nope video not fast motion... LOL

wooohooo! So happy to see this update from you when I logged in today. Way to go.

I think I would worry about that anemone with that many fish...
I have seen anemones die from too much love before.

Thanks Rob I only have been trying since November of last year and have been able to get one batch this far they are almost 5 months old.. And now the parents won't breed anymore since I moved them to their own small tank almost 2 months ago. I think it is because their water is not very warm I ran out of heaters the temp is probably around 77-78. Plus I think I see them pouting as well...

So I really want to decorate their tank like you had in one of your pictures on your thread...

Yep that is why I was really hoping for my rbta's to hurry up and split when they split they are atleast 3" in size so it would be much better for them to play in. Instead of that tiny gbta... I will be going to one of the lfs and hope they might have one that is a better size that I can put in there and take that one out and put it back in my DT so it can get bigger.
