BSJs are considered aggressive for ponies - not recommended mates on seahorse.org
actually Barbmazz had a BSJF in with her seahorses until the BSJF died... she said it was a great mix

Thanks Brenda. I had forgotten that she mixed them...

Do you have any reports of your babies spawing, other than the ones you've kept?

I demand random updated photos of your fish and system immediately for my own "clownfish fix". Everytime I go to my LFS, I come home with something.

Thank you so much Doni!
I just spent this snowy morning reading your thread!
You are truly amazing. I signed up for your newsletter.

No, not yet.
I'll do my best to get some photos of my systems this weekend
I am glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind words

Like I said this AM I never saw this post before I dropped the stand off but we will drill the tank Thurs night and get you done. See you after 6:00 some time.

Great!
I ordered an overflow and bulkhead from glassholes yesterday that should be delivered by Saturday so I'll have it plumbed and running on Monday and the horses will be added next week sometime!
Adam & Eve spawned!!
"Uno", a snowcasso that I raised has been successfully fertilizing and caring for eggs since he was only 8 months old. But today, my pair of Snowcassos spawned! Adam & Eve They were born around July'08 so they are about 1yr 7 months old (give or take a month).
They ate the eggs but that is somewhat normal for new parents.

have you thought about getting a plat percula to introduce to a snowcasso. Not sure if those Plats are sterile but heh. It may increase the occurrence of your favorable traits
Naaa... I am not trying for a solid white. I already have four Picasso/snowcasso mixed pairs now and if they all start spawning, I'll have to cut back on my sleeping time

Will you be raising these fry seperately for a while to see what percentage of their offspring are picasso? I'd for one would like to see.

Im not saying to shoot for all white.
Maybe an all white male or female mixed with an A or Snowcasso could produce higher % of fish like the one in your avatar.
I don't want an all white fish, but I do want the one in your profile.

How are the Latz doing Doni?
It's strange you should ask... I have very sad news to report
and will be updating my thread on them sometime this weekend. http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/saltwater-fish/50525-latezonatus-clowns.html

NOOO!! We need more pairs of these guys in your hands. I'm not a big fan of them personally, but the hobby would greatly improve with a couple captive bred Latz
Hello,
Just wondering about the picasso genetics...If you are breeding 2 picasso to each other, if you were to take 2 normal percula looking offspring from the picasso pair and bred them to each other (brother to sister), do the genetics work such that you would get some picasso offspring?
Also if I buy a pair from your website sometime in the future, how much flow is too much for the little guys? I have a 28g JBJ cube with the 2 stock pumps (265GPH or something) in the overflow, 2 koralia hydro 2s in the main tank, and will have a maxijet 1200 running a 1/20HP chiller. Would that be ok or do I need to grow them out in a less turbulent environment?
