It is a lot of fun Blake. I'm sure you're having fun too rearing your ponies :)

I had to move Uno and his mate a few times recently so their spawning has stopped. I expect they will begin again when they become comfortable with their new home.

Very Nice!

Awesome looking fish Doni!

Did you move the pair into a similar tank with anemone and such? Regardless they should resume spawning within four - six weeks.

Hi Doni... I will take some updated pics... I'm currently in London right now and will be back to the US tomorrow... I'm hoping my babies are alright... I just got a report a few days ago that they are doing okay so I'm glad to hear that... :)

Oh yeah... at 27 days old I am already seeing some cool markings :) They are so tiny I cannot see it with my eyes but the digital camera helps me!

Thanks! I have put all of the BTA's in my reef tank until the new tank is ready. The breeders have a shallow sand bed and a clay pot right now.

BTW... UNO and his WC female spawned yesterday :)

Did I miss the new photos?? :)

Yes, those photos are from the two spawns I have collected from Uno and his mate.

No, they have not developed more white. It appears that a very small percentage will develop extra white markings.

ah... I see... Thanks Doni...

one request, would you take some pics of the most black "C" grade Picasso's? since most of the B, A, & Snowcasso seem to develop their black at an early age, I was wondering how the C grade are developing... Thanks again... :)

Sure. I will take some pics of the oldest C's this weekend.... feel free to remind me :eek: The C's are developing their last stripe and black coloration MUCH slower than the A's, B's and Snowcassos are.

I think if Doni can get a happy medium between grade a and plat perculas, it would be great. Platinum perculas look like crap.

The Platinum are neat looking. My Snowcassos are similar but have cool black markings throughout the white when they mature. You know I have to like mine better ;)

Hey Woodstock, I just found this page and I think it is awesome!

I have a mated pair of Picassos so naturally I have a couple of question for when they do actually start breeding (due to an Ich crisis they are currently in a QT but will be back to their anemone in about 3 weeks).

How long after night do the eggs start hatching (I have read about an hour)? How long does it typically take from the time the first egg hatches and the last? Have you ever tried siphoning out the fry immediately after hatching instead of moving the pot? I read that is another method that can work but I wanted to get your opinion. Thanks a lot!

Peace,
Poppinthekap

Hey Doni, Here is my first Picasso clownfish, I couldn't pass up what a deal it was. We bought an establised 20 gallon and set it up also. lol. This is addicting.
