My clown breeding steup

[heheshamon]

It's going to be worth the wait anyhow.

[heheshamon]

And have they spawned yet?

[geekdafied]

mine havent, I havent been consistent with them as needed for them to be a consistent breeding pair. They are currently in a QT cause I had a parasitic outbreak. They are happy and healthy now and are doing their little clown dance where they simulate egg laying/fertilizing/fanning the eggs. So once everything is back to normal, I wouldnt be surprised if they start.

I pick up the other 4 pairs of clowns next weekend from the hatchery, its 2hrs away. The owner is a marine biologist buddy of mine.

[geekdafied]

If you gave £40 for them, thats roughly $60 here. So either you got them from the breeder or somebody who knows the breeder. Wholesale they are $20 each here.

I think i made a mistake with my measurment's I've just gone to have a look.



The green's are about two inch

Here's a couple more shot's not bad for a phone camera

[geekdafied]

reguardless if they are breeders or not, they are still nice fish.

[heheshamon]

I think so to I've alway's seen black & white ones but they have always got orange noses!

[geekdafied]

the ones with orange noses are the ones that are not far down the genetic tree from the original pairs of orange ones. The ones I have right now are actually brown and orange which shows they are even less down the genetic tree then the orange faced ones.

[heheshamon]

so what your saying is cross breed's

[Froc3]

No, just artificial selection hasn't taken the orange completely out of the fish yet.
