Ocellaris fry - let's see what happens

[Elmo18]

Just an update; one casualty today....down to somewhere in the 19-22 category I think...

This one had a very thin stomach, so it probably didn't learn to eat. The rest look pretty good for now.

End of Day 4.

Ilham thats great man. Since I have a small tank I was thinking I would just raise Clownfish. I can get color from my corals that I want rather than a bunch of fish. Since I have a Ocellaris already I am going to stick with them. Even though I really want Clarkii's. But like I said, maybe another tank is instore hehe.

Congrats so far and good luck.

Good luck Ilham. I'm new here and have been free from the addiction for about 8 or 9 years and I think it's time to jump back in. I for one would love to have up dates on how their doing and what your feeding them, water par. and so on so I could get an ideal how to do the same thing. Thanks Mike

Yea Ilham, give us a update and some pictures! Geesh, dont act like you dont know we are reef-junkies, lol

 

[spongebob lover]

[mlawrencemsc]

One more died, so total of 2 casualties in the ~6 days so far.

I will try take some photos when i can later on....but I will be at work...soon..possibly this evening

Best,

Ilham

Cool...ie about the pics. Sorry to hear about the loss though. I lost 2 clowns myself yesterday due to shipping, but atleast I have one that is doing great and he will have a buddy later on today of the same size and species. I hope you don't lose anymore Elmo...

 

[spongebob lover]

ohh dood not another one .
well we'll be waiting for the pictures

 

[Elmo18]

Thanks for the kind words. I am seeing why the GSM's are really tough. It is amazing how much bigger the fry is now at day 6, than the GSM fry at the same day. I will post more in the workshop, so I won't say too much here.

I will say that all clown fry turn darker and probably black, as they grow and develop. This is all before metamorphosis.

I will try take a photo of metamorphosis if any make it through. I started from 21 I believe, and have about 19 left. I hope the next batch of eggs are a bit larger. They're such novices....still... I'll be on RF chat for a bit..and on again later.

Best,

Ilham

 

[mlawrencemsc]

ok cool and thanks. Their not even my babies and I still feel like a new Dad. lol

 

[spongebob lover]

yeah i feel like that too dood

 

[Elmo18]

Update: Some have now metamorphosized and have a thin headband.

Will take photos tomorrow. Tried tonight, and hmmm just a blurry type of night...hahaha

About 18-19 left. Success rate seems pretty high with this fish, and so far, i have witnessed % survival from highest to lowest from what i've seen;

Ocellaris > Clarkii > GSMs.

Regards,

Ilham

Cool Elmo! Can't wait to see some pics. That's interesting that the ocellaris fry grow quicker than the GSM's considering the GSM's grow to be so much larger.

 

[spongebob lover]

yuuhhuu !!! Ocellaris rule !! i mean the other clowns are really cute too but you know i love Ocellaris .
I can't wait to see the pictures Ilham

 

[mlawrencemsc]

I really like the percs too.

 

[flugelnuss]

What's up Ilham? When are you going to raise true percs? Sorry.. had to throw that one in!
