Black Ice X Black Snowflake Eggs!!

[stevers]

Thanks again dr01dy. My female clown isn't eating like she should and as frustrating as it is I think she is done laying for a bit. I am feeding over a dozen different foods and blends and can't get her to eat. Very upsetting as all husbandry and variables are consistent with two months ago.
On the other hand the babies are doing very well. They have all been on otohime B2 for over a week. Still no looses to report.

Babies are looking great! I wouldn't worry about the feeding, my male never eats. Maybe try a softer food, I use American Reef's HPD, give it a shot

those babies look huge now!

 

[stevers]

Thanks! The babies are around 3/8th of an inch. Maybe a little bigger. Some small runts too closer to 1/4 inch.

Updates oldest babies are 2 months old today

 

[stevers]

I have at least 2 that are going to be mostly white. And the black will fill in soon too

Update! These larger fish were born on 7/14 and smaller ones 8/3.

The majority were balled up in the middle of the tank. I will take some more pictures when they come to the edge and are feeling photogenic, ha!

Looks great man

One almost looks like a platinum clown.

Very nice

Thanks! Yeah I have 3 or 4 that are mostly white or premium, another 6 with head bar and middle bar touching or grade A, like 8 regular snowflakes, and like 8 misbar regular types. So like 27 total. Although it's impossible to get an accurate count until I count as I move them. I am really excited for these guys to start turning black. I'm hoping to see them mostly black in 3 months, and no orange within a year.

yummy!!!
so cool watching your progress.

 

[stevers]

Started feeding them crushed flakes, crushed New life spectrum pellets, and thawed cyclops. They eat everything!!! Within the next week I plan to seperate the largest clowns, there isn't really any fighting but they are food hogs!!!

 

[stevers]

Update! Babies are really starting to get some dark color on fins and around the white bars. I'm very excited to watch these progress. I will probably keep 3-5 and sell the rest. In a month or two they will be big enough to sell.

Wow they are looking amzing. How much are you planning on selling them for?

 

[jasonp87]

Awesome! They are looking great! It's crazy how the same 2 parents produce such a variety of patterns in their offspring. Looks like you have snowflakes, misbars, regulars and platinums. Maybe some extreme snowflakes.

I am not sure on the price yet. I see some retailers selling the black snowflakes for well over 100. I don't think I'll ask that much. But it will come down to how much white and how much black they have.
Thanks! Yes I have misbars, snowflakes, grade As, and premiums. I don't have any that are all white. But I have around 5 that will be 75% white
