[Chris Littrell]

Date:
May 6th

Time:
2-4pm

Where:
Fairfield Country Day School - 2970 Bronson Rd - Fairfield

Topic:
I will lead a discussion on breeding Clownfish. I will show you my setup and walk you through the process that I used to raise Amphiprion-clarkii. I currently have about 40 fish 30 days post hatch. They will be about 60 days post hatch at the meeting. I will show you the parents and how I moved the fry to the rearing tank. I will also discuss the food and husbandry needs.

Breeding thread is here. https://tinyurl.com/Amphiprion-clarkii

We can also look at some of the other tanks that I have at school.

55 clownfish tank
29 rearing tank

90 trout (currently has 30-40 trout hatched in the fall)

Too much food!!

 

[Chris Littrell]

LOL. It’s more the photo. They will clear that in about 15min. B2 so much better than size A. A would just cover the bottom of the tank like orange snow.

Not a direct project but I have a small group of students that help with the tanks. This time most of the critical parts happened to be when the boys were on break so next time I would try to pick a time when they are in session.
