Ocellaris Clownfish breeding - Wish me luck!

sandyc · 08-05-2008, 09:24 PM

Doni Marie's thread has inspired me. My clownfish have been laying eggs for 3-4 years now but I have never tried to raise the babies. I am going for it this time!!

My fish laid their eggs tonight around 5 PM. I took pictures during the laying and will post them as soon as I figure out how to do it.

I ordered the rotifer package from Reeds and it is due to arrive tomorrow. I hope I have enough time to raise the quantity I need. Does anyone know how long it takes to culture enough Rotifers to raise a batch of larvae?

I am excited and hope for the best. I will keep you posted.

Sweet! Good luck!

I hope the photo sizing is ok. Here is a picture of the spawning process.

One more picture of the egg laying process and one of the final product.

I used photoshop to make the photo files under 50kb as required but my pictures seem smaller than other pictures. Can someone tell me if there is a better process to use when uploading jpeg files?

Great pics!

upload them to a site like photobucket (its free) and then just insert the IMG tag here.

Thanks! I will have to set up a photobucket account. This is going to be fun.

OK, I set up the photobucket account but I will need a little more help. How do I insert the tag? Sorry, I am new at this.:smck:

SeahorseBT · 08-05-2008, 10:59 PM
