Ocellaris fry - let's see what happens

[Elmo18]

I collected about 20-25 fry couple nights ago to just give em a try. So far Day 2 and no deaths. Ocellaris fry are about 3x as strong as GSM fry it seems, and about 2-3 times bigger, too. They are great eaters already for the second day. Egg mass was small, but i thought i'd try it as I couldn't see the eggs go to waste. Just seeing how many will make it.

Day 2:

Sorry..messy carpet Here are a couple photos of a 10 gallon Clarkii tank that i took before the usual water changes.

Best,

Congrats Ilham!! Wish you were in Canada. I want your Clarkii's I might need a coulple Ocelaris too, now

 

[SaltyTemple]

YAY! I'm so happy for you Ilam! You mentioned that you were hoping to get that pair to breed. First go then eh?

Ilham if you ship i will take two of you ocellaris, let me know!

HI Tom, definitely will save one for ya.

Thanks for the encouraging words. It is nice that after the GSM's, these guys seem like nothing. By now, i'll have GSM fry deaths, but not with these guys it seems. GSM's in my opinion, has the smallest fry of any clownfish; the ocellaris the largest fry.

This species (Ocellaris) is the one I would recommend people for first fishes, or if you're interested in tackling basic breeding. I'll keep you guys posted on what happens.

Nothing interesting happens in the first 8-10 days...but end of Day 2...about 20 left still.

Best,

Ilham

I doubt it Jiddy I'd give them 3-4 months at least. Although if you want to be feeding live foods still...it is possible...but shipping month and half old baby clowns is very very risky..

[Jiddy]

Well i suppose i can wait until i get back from Guam, i wouldnt want to risk the shippin, you will have to give them to Ken to hold for me, lol

 

[Kensn]

I could do that.....

 

[Jiddy]

Oh sorry Ken i wasnt really askin, hows that sound Ilham? Do you guys live next to eachother kinda.... i dont know if you guys are in the cool guy club together? lol

 

[Kensn]

Ilham won't let me come over LOL, but he lives pretty close.. Jiddy I hold them with the other stuff....

 

[Jiddy]

You will just have to rent a Uhaul and bring the family to see Mt.Rushmore this summer Ken, lol

 

[Elmo18]

Let's not get 'too excited' yet....its only Day 3 (today)....there's about 12 more days...before i know for sure...crossing fingers..but these guys are waaaay more resilient than those itty bitty GSM fry. I should be growing out more GSM soon, probably the next set of eggs.
