Rearing Picasso Percula Clownfish!
- Thread starter Woodstock
- Start date
Take lots of photos because it will chage as it matures!
Mine began breeding about 1 year after I had them.
Yes, after 1 hour or so most of the eggs have hatched. Some might not hatch until the next evening.
I always remove the eggs prior to hatching. I have never tried to collect newly born fry.
Good luck!

I got home yesterday and actually saw my two clowns together (they dont like each other much...my picasso prefers the lawnmower blenny hah)...they were particularly infatuated with this piece of branch rock...any idea why? the picasso hangs there every so often and it looks like hes feeding off of it, but i never see any pods around...hmm!

Hey Doni, I had a quick questions about breeding Picasso clownfish. I am not looking to breed them any time soon but everyone here says it is really hard b/c they have to be on a timer and if you even turn on a house light and they see it it could mess them up and they won't lay eggs. Is this true or is this just a myth? Thanks.

Not true. We use the lights near the reef many times during the 'night' hours.
However, I do recommend using timers or a controller to regulate the lights so the day/night will be consistant.

I recieved my two picassos this morning and despite fex ex throwing the box on the ground and leaving they are fine. She knocked on the door and my boxer barked. she didn't even see my boxer. i was at the top of the steps and she half way bent down and dropped the box turned around and left. What is wrong with people??? Any ways thanks to Doni's great packaging skills my two picassos are doing just fine. Thanks again.

Unless the clowns are of a large species (tomatoe, GSM, etc.), I would use the 10 gal for the breeding tanks and the 20 gallon for the growouts. You will quickly find that you have hundreds of juveniles! These little guys grow quickly and will need lots of space.

first off happy anniversary :jester: !!! your set-up is pretty inspiring
Hi there Doni,
I wonder if you would answer a few questions that I have on raising the fry.
I have just read the first 60 pages again and see new things each time.
1. Are you still using rotifer diet? How long does 1 liter last you?
2. How many days do you feed rotifers, and what day do they get weaned completely to non live foods.
3. what day do you add a sponge filter to the tank?
4. Do you use a sponge filter in your rotifer culture?
What light duration do you use at the start and how long till they are on day/night schedule?
Only answer if you have the time!
Thanks
Dave
P.S. All 3 of my picasso babies are 100% and are growing fast!
