zotzer October 11, 2007 October 11, 2007 When Kismet discovered him in the mushrooms, she swam over like a flash. He instantly went on his side, quivered, and then "played dead" on top of a mushroom. I think he's gotten the message. Thanks so much! Tracy

Tracy Good to hear, now it is up to her to back off a bit and pair bond with the juvie as he matures into a male. Nice job :>) Edited October 11, 2007 by traveller7
discretekarma October 12, 2007 Author October 12, 2007 Even though I have two GBTA's, the new little tomato clown has taken to my hammer coral. We'll see if he finds his way to an anemone.

Does the female allow the newcomer into an anemone yet? It would not be unusual for her to keep the juvie at a distance for days or even weeks.

Nice job :>) She's already much kinder...circling the mushroom rock, and allowing him to emerge without attacking him. She is doing that little clown bob and kind of backing into him. I hope the worst is over. I really appreciate your advice. I never would have let it go on as long as it did without you chiming in here. Tracy

wreck October 13, 2007 October 13, 2007 Traveller, Is it OK to have Tomato Clownfish from the same hatch (siblings) as mated pairs. I read in "Clownfishes" by Joyce Wilkerson that is was ok, but just wanted to double check. Are there any advantages or disadvantages? Thanks, Wreck

A generation or two in does not seem to negatively impact the larvae. For the mass market, it does not seem to be an issue in any way. Quite a few captive raised lines are rumored to be F4 to F6. Personally: If I had little choice, as in a single uncommon pair to start broodstock, I would. If I had a choice, I would not mix Fx for future breeding purposes.
