Show off your clownfish!

[Flatlander]

Going to try a couple pics of mine breeding. The pair was tank born and with me over 10yrs. now. I have some other pics later but guess they need to be re sized first.

Hmm, I see I need to do the Photobucket route.

No wonder we called you Papa Doug

:lol: Grandpa Doug

Did any of the younguns make it or did they themselves become food?

 

[Flatlander]

None Charlie. The pipe is now part of the rock structure, so cant get it out if I wished. That pic was from my other tank and could remove it but did have the set up or room to hatch them out. Sometimes I wish I could but then what would I do with them. :lol: She has about 6 batches a year, unless I upset them.

I have a real neat video of them spawning but have yet to figure out how to post it on the boards.

That is what I kind of figured. I was thinking of putting something like that pipe in my refugium where gertrude and heathcliff are. I am sure they have tried, but I have never seen any eggs.

Get in touch with scooter or returnofsid, or heck, maybe even Devon in my club forum, they would maybe be able to help you posting that vid, I would love to see it.

They have used the pvc pipe as a home for their entire life but for some reason spawned on a rock in the video, only time.

well........................................... maybe they didn't wanna mess up their own house that time?????????

I was trying to get as close as possible a shot without a macro lens ( which I don't have anyway) and thought this one was about as close as I could get. The babies were from three hatches, born august and september 2010, and are now most are 1/2 inch long. I combined the hatches a few months ago, there was some bickering at first but now they all get along fine. This shot I call "count the ocellaris"

Oh wow. Very cool pic.

Thanks! Just trying to figure out the camera.

@Twiggy- I love the slight miss-bar on your male. How did you get them to stay still to get such clear shots?

 

[twiggy]

The first two shots were with a flash and the third I just got lucky. We call him smiley cause of the misbar he's hard to get a pic of. Always hangin out in the hairy mushrooms.

Here is a pic from my very first salt water setup 2 years ago, clowns eyes were bigger than its mouth

Meet Gertrude and Heathcliff

I love that well "seasoned" tank look Charlie. Never been a fan of the super clean, sparse rock work type that seem to be popular now.

 

[CarlaW]

Hey

They are really happy in the fuge. I put them in the 300, and that lasted about 4 days, found both of them in the sump, I think they were terrified.
