    I have had the clown pairs for 14-16 months and they are getting near maturity. They are both ORA pairs and are at least 2 years old. Neon gobies are supposed to be easy to raise and I thought it would be good practice before the clowns start to lay. I will probably lose most of my first try, just getting new systems problems solved.

    my clowns just laid their first clutch after 2 1/2 years of being together. I am planning on trying to raise the fry - I'm only at the planning stage at this point. I've always been fascinated with baby fish - for years I just loved having my guppies :) I've also read where sexy shrimp can be bred and raised. I'd like to look into that as well once I get additional tanks and materials together. I've never seen people breeding the gobies. Really interested in this thread

    Love your DIY version of my CCS design :)

    A simpler and cheaper way is to use a longer top arm and simply slice a strip out of it on a table saw. You can even notch a PVC cap as so the entire thing will lock onto the bucket.

    Pot is out and rotifers are in. Small hatch but useful for practice.
