Here is the Broodstock.

Scoots: Female

Size: 2"

Age: Unknown.

Boogie: Male

Size: 1 3/4"

Age: Unknown

Documented spawning took place four days after introduction on 11-14-09 9:30 pm

Eggs:

I was concerned about the rate of development compared to my work with Mandarins. With Mandarins 12-14 hours post spawn they would be in the pro-larvae stage.

Here is a pic of Ocellatus egg 17 hours post spawn. At first I attributed the slow development to lower temps.

Also I am looking to redo my rock work and make some pretty big changes. How likely is it that these changes will disrupt their breeding? Right now I have a flower pot in the tank which they have laid the eggs on, should I just not redo the rock work or should I just find a way to work the flower pot into the new rock work. I can live without redoing the rock work (although I would like to redo it) but the lighting is important. Thanks.

The trio consists of one male and two females. They have always got along but I noticed some 'chasing' going on.... After taking a closer look, the egg mass was found!

Here is there NORMAL coloration:

Who knows! http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/livestock-breeding/52441-new-latz-future-breeding-pair-who-knows.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 05:31:33 GMT

Don't mind the one in the background, Im not sure what it is it doing.

These should arrive tuesday.

I cannot say where they are from, for now. I do need suggestions from experienced latz owners what medications are safe and effective for them.

According to my sources, theses are TR F2 clowns.

I have a securable 10 gallon tank for the first few weeks of QT. This will give them time to relax, medicate, get fat, and get ready. I will then move them over to a 20 Long for another QT period with hypo salinity (need to check if they like this yet), and finally, a transfer to another hypo tank, where under a time no less than 6 weeks, the salinity will be raised slowly.

This may seem like a bit of overkill, but heh, $1000 dollars worth of fish will make a man do crazy things. ]]> Livestock Breeding dalilgriffith http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/livestock-breeding/52441-new-latz-future-breeding-pair-who-knows.html Are my clownfish breeding? http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/livestock-breeding/52438-my-clownfish-breeding.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:33:10 GMT I just noticed that my two clownfish had what look to be eggs in the flower pot that I got them. The pair has been together for a long time and I have been waiting for them to start breeding. Please give me your opinion about the pictures below. Sorry some of them are kind of blurry. Also this will be the first time they have laid eggs so I'm guessing thats why the batch is small, correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Is there anything I can do to help any of the babies survive? I cannot remove the rock.

I had been expecting them to lay for about a week so it was good to see it happen. Of course, being as that this is the first time either of these fish have spawned, they both ate the eggs very quickly. What is interesting however is that the female seems to be re-hydrating and they are still cleaning a lot...I won't be surprised if I wake up and find another nest. Anyway, I am expecting them to eat the first few spawns until they get it right, then I will start raising them.

The female of this pair is WC from Bali, purchased in March 09' and the male is of unknown origins (although I still suspect ORA until proven otherwise...).

Here is a video of the pair this morning. Sorry for the bad quality, it was from my cell phone. You can see them picking at the eggs/cleaning.

I have finally gotten my clown fish breeding. I have a nice hatchery set up. And now have about 35 clown larva. I have purchased 2 live rotifer culters. The rotifers have been going for about 3 days now. My question is can you see rotifer with a naked eye? If not how do I know I have enough growing and how do I know that my clown larva are being fed?
