Based on my calculations, 5/20 is the night we’re due to first have hatches. Having moved all the fry from Spawn #30 into a BRT “on the system”, I wiped down and drained their BRT, and refilled it with water from the Lightning Maroon’s broodstock aquarium. The tile with eggs (huge nest, 4″ X 2″) […]

As of 5/13/2014, there were two fish from spawn #30 who had yet to undergo metamorphosis; the rest had. Trying to avoid past issues of small groups doing well and then just dying randomly, I selected 3 lightning juveniles and moved them into an empty black round tub that’s running on the larviculture system. When […]
There are still maybe 2 larvae from Spawn #30 that haven’t settled. The dice roll so far seems to be heavy towards Lightning offspring…but all told there are probably 10 fish or so that made it. Spawn #31 simply didn’t work out. The timers on the filtration worked flawlessly, but for some reason the eggs […]
As near as I can tell, a lot of eggs likely hatched from the PNG White Stripe Maroon Clownfish pair’s 2nd spawn. There are probably less than 50 eggs left. Of course, this was a tiny nest to start with (compared to other Maroon nests) so I opted to just leave the few remaining eggs […]
Before I forget – sometime on the afternoon of April 30th, 2014, Spawn #31 was laid. That is all 😉
Yesterday, 4-29, I discovered a clutch of eggs from the OTHER F0 White Stipe PNG Maroon Clown pairing in the basement. If I recall correctly, this is only the 2nd clutch I’ve discovered from them. I’ll certainly try to raise some, just to see what I get and for outcross purposes. Spawn #30 has a […]
I decided to try something different this time…I’d been putting it off but figured “might as well”. I decided to try snagging a hatch with the Vossen Aquatics Larval Snagger (aka. Larval Trap). Thursday night, the 24th, was officially the 6th night post spawn and assuredly I’d get a hatch. I reconfigured the broodstock tank […]
Yeah, spawn #30 was laid on 4-18-2014; I noticed it in the evening when feeding. Large pale-orange batch on the far end of the vertical tile in their “tile tepee”. That’s all.
In short, Spawn #29 was not pulled on Monday, the 14th, as I had initially suspected. Looking at it, I opted to wait until Tuedsay, the 15th, to pull it, 7th day post spawn. I used well-aged new saltwater which was 1.026; same as the broodstock water. Water temp may have been a couple degrees […]
So Mike Doty has had comparable luck to some of my better “early runs”; Spawn #27 remains at his house and in a startling role reversal, I’m now watching HIS fishroom. As of yesterday, I discovered the first post-meta offspring, a Lightning juvenile, in the warmer, more lightly-stocked right BRT. The rest are still pre-meta […]
