looking real nice.great setup guys.

 

Is this tread seriously going a month without updates? What's going on here?

 

I just came across this thread for the first time and I'm impressed. Great job. I have a clown pair but who knows if they are actually mating? Either way I love the coloration on pretty much every clown you've posted a picture of. Let us know if you start selling!

 

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lagging of the thread. We've been out and about a lot since it's summer. Just this past weekend we went kayaking with friends at the La Jolla caves. It was awesome!

Anyways, our clowns are doing great and getting big! We also bought three more pairs that were laying, and picked up another two good looking onyx clowns. We're currently putting together a bigger setup in the garage. We should be done by this weekend so I'll post a lot of pics to update where we're at.

Other good news Joey talked to the one of the lfs around here and they're interested in buying our clowns. We're very excited about that!

 

We're still building our new setup. Didn't get it finished this weekend like we had hoped. But I took a quick video of our fry in their new growout tank. They're living in a 60 gal with a 55 gal sump. They're currently a little over 2 and a half months old.

Great vid.Can't wait to see the new breeding setup.

 

thats awesome!

 

Thanks! Doyle, how are your clowns doing??

 

Please excuse our misbars . A lot of these babies were early in our learning curve. Our latest batch of babies are fully barred with no defects - I put a seasoned sponge filter in the tank a day or two into meta and this seemed to make a huge difference.

We have an ocellaris hatch scheduled for tonight and/or tomorrow night. It's been a while since we collected fry, so we're excited!
