Clownfish larvae (updated through week 9 on page 3)

[npaden]

Thanks,

The oldest ones are just over 9 weeks old. The largest ones are about 3/4" nose to end of tail. They have been eating 100% dead foods for the last couple weeks.

I haven't really thought about getting them to associate with an anemone just because I doubt an anemone could live in the nasty polluted water that the clowns are in! If I added strong enough lighting for an anemone I'm afraid the tanks would be nothing but algae. Would be an interesting expirement though.

Npaden and Baalz,

how many pairs of clown do you have? ten of them or you are just being lucky with one pair ?

as i lack place, i can only set two tanks (almost ready to start), so two pairs of clowns and my finger crossed

keep posting pictures, please!

Both of us have just one pair of clowns spawning. Baalz has been raising them for about a year and a half and is MUCH better at this than I am but you would be amazed at how many thousands of babies you can raise from one set of parents. Baalz has 8 tanks setup for hatching and growout for his one spawning pair. I only have 3 setup right now but will end up close to 8 by the time I get some that are 6 months old and ready to sell if I still keep trying to raise each batch.

It's not easy by any means but it is worth the effort if you enjoy it.

FWIW, Nathan
