Rearing Picasso Percula Clownfish!

[Craig Manoukian]

I that the haddoni trampoline next to the clay pot spawning bed?

 

[Keith Klepac]

Wow that's impressive. I didn't know that males could already be at breeding age by 8 months. Exciting!

I can't wait to see what they produce.

Thank you Marvin!

Howdy - Welcome to RS Thank you for the kind words. I hope to find time to take lots of photos along the way!

Congrats Scubadrew! You will have a blast raising clown fish! Doing so is very rewarding.

Craig - yes, that is a haddoni anemone.

Keith - I was very surprised myself! I was expected them to start spawning after he was a year or so old...

Here is "Uno" tending to his 1st nest. He is a good daddy

This nest is small but I am sure they will get larger as the female matures and becomes more skilled at laying.

are you going to try and raise those babies as well?

Definately.


Whohoo! The eggs are still there this morning
This is a VERY good indicator that they are not 'egg eaters' and subsequent spawns will be successful!

 

[AndtheBonus]

Simply Amazing.

Here are a few videos of my grade C (normal striped/misbar) perculas.
They are so friendly! Someone came by yesterday to pick up a pair (Thanks Lindsay!) and did not use a net to catch them. They swim right into my hand!

 

[Craig Manoukian]

Wow so cool Doni, your ring provides a very good order of magnitude as to their size!

 

[SeahorseBT]

Wow, they started spawning quick! They must be happy. No surprise there!
