    MY ORA PLATINUM CLOWN

    in General Discussion

    My mated pair displayed the same behavior. Sit back and enjoy! It is cool to watch the eggs develop but after 14 days they don't usually make it. Mine had a new batch every 2 to 3 weeks. Hth.

     

    WOW......THIS IS MY FIRST PAIR, I STAY UP LAST NIGHT TO WATCH THEM. IM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE THEY LAY EGGS.

    MY ORA PLATINUM CLOWN

    Unless you want to breed them you dont really have to do anything, just enjoy watching this new behavior your fish are doing. The eggs will just become some really good food for your other fish.

     

    In the future if you plan to raise some theres a great book that will give you alot of the information you need to do so. Look for Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson. Ive read the book 3 times now from cover to cover and still havent bred one fish yet. Theres also alot of memebers that have or are breeding clownfish, Im sure they would be more then willing to give you whatever information you need.

    Thanks for the advices....I did some research on online.

    pistol shirmp and yellow watchman goby

    in General Discussion

    Now you tell me :biggrin: thank for the tip! I will try it for my next pair if I can't find this pair in my tank. I will give it couples more week before purchase another pair :angry: and will pre burrow a couples spot in the sand.

    Anh tri, I brought my pair yesterday at BRK, when I put the pistrol shrimp in my tank, the shrimp stay in one corner so I put one of the clam shell on top of it, soon enough the pistol shrimp start digging a hole and later the yellow goby goes in the cave. :-). I even record them . It so cool.

    platinum clown fish

    in General Discussion

    I got a pair of ORA platinum clown fish not too long ago, last night I saw the female clown body had a string of white hanging on her body. I don't know what that was. Would anybody here know about this weird white string on the female clown body?:wacko:

     

    Thanks

    ive heard of some people using pulverized dry food, a good high quality flake or pellet. You would need to crush the foodvery finely with a mortar and pestle into a very fine powder. You will need to feed several times a day, this gives the fish time to recognize the powder as food. Feeding this way you will need to clean the tank alot, as all the uneaten food will foul the water.

     

    The tank is large for rearing the fish, especially the larvae. The smaller the volume of water the more dense you will have the food. The denser the food is, the shorter the distance the fish have to swim to find it, thus the least amount of energy they have to expend. In that size tank the fish will most likely use more energy hunting then the energy they would get from the food.

     

    I would ask around to see if anyone close has a copy of the book Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson, it has all the information in it that you will need. I have a copy, but Im pretty far from woodbridge.

    Thank you, I'll let my brother know.

    if the fish have already hatched and you dont have any food (rotifers) for them right now, then they wont survive. A typical grow out tank is about 10 gallons or so, sponge filter, small heater, cheap light and blacked out sides. You wont be able to grow them out in a large established system. clown fish usually spawn pretty readily, read up some and and get everything together that you need and you will be raising them in no time.

    my brother have a 40 gallons that set up for sick tank. he have heater and everything in there, except the food that you were talking about.

    thanks

    As has been said running two MP10s would not really cut it... On my 60 gallon below I have two MP10s providing all of the flow and they are maxed out. On any system larger I'd bump up to the MP40s. For the size they are though, the MP10s are excellent pumps.

    Ideally, you'd want two MP40s for your tank, giving you a lot of flexibility even in a mixed reef. One will suffice, but it is not ideal. Having two of these pumps strategically placed allows for a much more natural flow pattern.

     

    Hope that helps,

    THANKS JOHN.....THE THE FRAGS LOOKING GOOD IN MY TANK

    Wait, what do you keep or what do you want to keep?

     

    I don't think that a single mp40 (or two mp10s) in a 100 would be adequate for sps, but it would probably be fine for some softies and lps.

     

    It is difficult to have conversations on flow (or lighting or most reef things) without an idea what what you are trying to achieve.

     

     

     

    RIGHT NOW I HAVE LPS AND SOME MONTIPORA FRAGS IN MY TANK. ALL MY SPS HAD MOVE TO MY BROTHER TANK. BUT IM PLANNING TO KEEPS LPS ONLY, SPS IS NICE BUT TOO HARD TO KEEP.

    how would you tell if the green manderins is mating ?

    in General Discussion

    I got a male green manderin in my tank for quite a while now, so yesterday i got a female manderin and put her in with the male. After a while a saw the male was wondering around the female and soon later i saw the male sipping on the backside of the female. I got so scare and I kind of seperate them and I did, but the thing is that when I do that I saw a white stuff comes out of the male mouth. This morning I went on youtube to see how they were mating it kind of look like that, but im not sure if they were mating or the male just bite the female. I also check on the female body this morning i didn't see any mark or wound. Any advices is good right now..... cause i also have another 30 gallons with two seahorse in it, if they're mating i could put them in there.

    Rose Anemone split

    in General Discussion

    I agree, Ive seen them split. Anemone's have two ways to reproduce.

     

    1.) they can split in half turning one into two. Some aquarists actually cut them in half to speed up this process. It is very risky, and done wrong will needlessly kill the animal.

     

    2.) like many marine organisms they can release sperm and egg into the water, if there are enough of this organism in the area and with a bit of luck the eggs and sperm will meet. Any individual anemone can release sperm, or egg, or both. So it is possible that one anemone could fertilize its own eggs. I beleive that the eggs attatch to a solid object and mature there. However i could be wrong.

     

    Over all, even though it is very risky the only propegation I am aware of in captivity is splitting, or a forced split.

     

    Congratulations on your anemone splitting, your doing something very right clap.gif

     

    thank you:rolleyes:

    Rose Anemone split

    Could also be a sign of something amiss with water quality. They split when they want to or when they are stressed, so a quick check is a good idea.

     

    thank you... that's what i thought, because i had read something about the anemone split do to water issue. I'll do the test later.
