Black Ice X Black Snowflake Eggs!!

Snowflake clowns

120... that's steep. I have seen proven breeding blacker ice for $225 a pair. Might as well look for a laying pair and buy them.

Any suggestions on where to look cause I'm building a 4 tank breeder system and then I have a 90 long and a 92 corner and I want a clown pair for each

 

[stevers]

Well every once and a while someone is parting out on local forums. That's where I have seen the best deals. Growing corals and trading has got me pairs in the past. But the best us to buy straight from the breeder. I got mine from Mitch at Booyahs Reef clowns at the state frag swap. Very informative and you can pick from a variety

Looks like around 120 eggs left today. Less than I thought there should be hmmm. But I think I'll pull the pot tonight. But I can't set up another tank so I'll try to do it with the existing larvae .. I don't anticipate any issues

 

[N. Crawford]

Thank you

What state are you in?

 

[stevers]

Michigan

 

[N. Crawford]

Ooo rival states. Haha

 

[stevers]

Haha.
Right on well I had a hatch... but because of space constraints I had to hatch them in the tank with the 3 week old larvae. Around 60 hatched but thats just a guess. Until I see negative interaction they will stay together. I know they need to be seperate. I need to get these through meta and I can set up my 20 gallon tank and I'll be able to put dividers in and reduce bickering by separating sizes.

My percs have had 3 broods, just started gathering stuff to raise them. Thanks so much for documenting this, I missed this or something but what is oto b1? After rotis, thats what you feed them? I do need to research more lol but saw this and if I can skip baby brine then im all for it=)

Congrats on the facebook feature haha! When ever you feel comfy enough to sell ( after some make it past meta lol) I'd be more than happy to buy 2 clowns.

 

[stevers]

No way!!! Awesome!!! Got the Facebook bump. .. I'll take some pics to celebrate.
Oto b1. (Otohime is a Japanese weaning food, A is the finest grade, B1 is slightly larger, and B2 is slightly larger than B1.)
Rots are added up to day 10. I started Otohime A on day 8 to overlap the food being offered. The same overlap is seen in the transition from A to B1 etc. I got 5 through meta without BBS, I'm assuming I can do better with this batch.

 

[stevers]

Just took these... I think I see snowflake patterns!!!!

 

[N. Crawford]

Awesome and you show us how you have your tank setup?

 

[Vwtbug]

Thank nice job

 

[stevers]

Thanks! Yea its an embarrassing set up. But it's temporary, I'm hoping to get a house soon and I'll really invest in a more permanent set up. But

 

[N. Crawford]

Hey it works that's what counts! How do you have the parents setup?

 

[stevers]

It's way too dirty for pics of that lol. Tomorrow I'll tidy up and post pics. The frequent feedings keep my algae overwhelming.

 

[N. Crawford]

Mines not to hot either but ok
