Raised baby clownfish!! Oh crap, now what? (Free baby clownfish)

[IKD]

Congratulations on your breeding success! Raising the larva is not trivial and takes a lot of consistent time and effort, Kudos!

Thanks!

 

[IKD]

That was no trivial accomplishment! Super strong work! Congratulations.

Thank you!

This is fricken awesome! This makes me happy just looking at them lol. If you ever start shipping let me know!

Thanks, I will let you know! Had a couple folks ask about it. I will look into what it takes to ship.

Your title made me laugh. How far are you from St. Augestine? I'll be there for vacay in a few weeks.

Either way, you have some gorgeous fish. As much as I'd love free fishies, have you considered selling to a LFS or bartering with one for more supplies?

I live in Oviedo, so about 85 miles (1hr 45min) from St. Augustine. I've called a couple places but they tend to have deals with breeders and won't take larger numbers of fish (World Wide Corals being one of them). So I figured a little supply/demand competition wouldn't hurt the local market if they want to snub taking these little guys LOL

If you want to swing down this way, send me a PM and I can hold a few.

I'm interested I live by Disney springs

Send me a PM and we can coordinate a pick-up. About half of them are spoken for at the moment.

Send me a PM and we can coordinate a pick up

Good work! I tried a couple times but couldn't keep the fry alive for more than 24 hours. It was so sad. Pat on the back for sure!

Thanks! I had the same issue the first couple times. Turns out it was way I was adding the RGComplete. That is highly concentrated and needs to be diluted really well before adding it in with the fry, otherwise it killed them pretty quickly

Would you ship 20 to Texas if i send you a shipping label? I could pay you for them also.

 

[Crreef]

Great job! They're some really awesome ones in there.

 

[RedSea500MaxS]

Great work! Had eggs, never babies. Nice generous offer too!

 

[Itsander]

Hey man, those are great achievement that you made there and giving them away for FREE after the hard job even better, congratulations, hope those baby find a nice home.

 

[EmilyXLC]

Omg! I’m going to PM you!

 

[vetteguy53081]

Way to go. Im willing some store is ready to buy them and stock their tanks

After a couple attempts at raising clownfish fry, I got the process kinks worked out and currently have about 80 happy baby clowns. I'm now looking to find them good homes and offering them for free for local pickup. I've never shipped livestock before, so not sure how well they would fair.

Mom is a snowflake and dad is a traditional false percula, but I'm guessing they had some others genes given the variety of patterns in the babies (standard, snowflake, and all-white bodies)

Please PM me if interested. They are ~1-1.5 inches in size and eating small pellet/frozen food. They are about 2 months old at this point.

I'm located in central Florida (Orlando area).

Congrats! . Love to get some from you! Just PMED you.

Are you shipping possibly?

 

[Jrod381]

Good morning @IKD i sent you a pm

 

[IKD]

Are you shipping possibly?

I'm not shipping right now, but will see how many I have left after next week. There is a lot of interest in shipping, so I will seriously look into it.
