I am going to have 2 pairs of Black Leopards.

On my flower pots, I used to make legs out of 2 part epoxy to keep them from rolling around. In the picture you can kind of see the legs I'm talking about.

I wondered about that. I just set it up against the back for support. I have 2 spares to use for when these have eggs and get switched. I'll figure a support for them and swap out.

Much easier than it used to be, wealth of knowledge in most forums these days. The Marine Breeders Initiative has great journals on all sorts of species.

Great packing done by Pieces of the Ocean. Also a very nice guarantee they offer on their fish.

Beautiful! So exciting. Looks great

Beautiful. Out of curiosity what was your reasoning for getting two pairs of the same morph?

Dang! Those are some nice looking clowns, I'm looking into venturing into a similar project after I move in a couple months.

I'll admit, 2 pairs of the same was impulsive. But once I saw them I loved them and jumped on it. I would like to get a pair of the all white ones, frostbite or platinum. Not sure which one it is.

Thanks! I say go for it, this is my first try.

Lol impulse buys are just another part of reefing! Are they already breeding size?

They are bonded pairs and I think they are of size. Just going to start feeding them a varied diet of goodies and warm the water a bit :) Now it's a waiting game for them to settle in and acclimate. Even then...there's no guarantee I suppose. But I like them!

Beautiful clowns, I'm definitely jealous. Keep your temp at about 81, I run a 12 hour light cycle, I honestly forgot what I had my salinity at, and feeeed. They'll hopefully start laying soon. Very their diet, the better the broodstock are fed the stronger the fry will be.

I’m going to start breeding soon I’m setting up a 30 g with 3 pairs

They are destroying brine shrimp. I also have mysis, krill, and plankton mixes. Are bloodworms ok to feed them? I have some of those as well.

I don't recall any problems with blood worms. Just in case you wanted to do some reading here is my old thread from when I started raising my clowns. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/picassos-breeding-project.166777/
