OK, this honestly was not a surprise in the least. They ate the eggs….by 5 PM, the last ones were gone. First nests on clownfish have a reputation for being shoddy. Time to pump ’em full of food, treat ’em good, and wait for round 2.

You heard it here first. Mitch May (better known as the “Booyah” in Booyah’s Clownfish), hats off to you staying on me with the double down. This one goes out to everyone who understood the concept of “patience”, “things taking time”, and “doing it right”. It especially goes out to all of those who believed […]
I promised photos, and I took them. I ended up not doing any subsequent antibiotic treatments, so I basically ran one day longer with the Maracyn SW than called for, and Maracyn II went the full course. I didn’t have a very cooperative photograph subject, but these photos of the Lightning Maroon were take on […]
Friday, April 27, 2012. I’ll keep this short and bittersweet. In the last 24 hours the Lightning Maroon has developed a pretty rapid spreading case of what appears to be mouth rot. You may recall a similar situation occurring with the Morse-Code Maroon, and that did not end well. The biggest question is WTF – […]
This has been an interesting weekend for the Lightning Maroon. It started Friday AM, when I woke up to find the Lightning Maroon with a cloudy and swollen right eye. That alone ruined my day, although I didn’t freak out because I realized that this was likely a bruise / mechanical damage. Still, in the […]
Yes, there is one sure fire way to get an update – heckle me into it via the comment system here at www.Lightning-Maroon-Clownfish.com So for starters, let’s talk NPS (Non PhotoSynthetic corals). Yes, I’ve had some Balanophyllia for a while now, as a somewhat local reefer grows them like crazy and they always end up […]
Turnabout is fair play – come here to shoot the Lightning Maroon Clownfish and expected to get shot yourself (granted, I asked for permission to both shoot and post 😉 ) I have to say, Gary was a trooper – our club brought him to Duluth, MN, only to drive him 3 hours west to […]
With SOPA and PIPA making news this week, it’s all too timely to bring up a brief discussion about copyright. I was 100% against these measures because they lacked the necessary protections of due-process…all it takes is an accusation to bring down an entire server, a server which could house dozens or hundreds of unrelated […]
As usual, there’s really nothing NEW to report. The blog’s admin area was offline for a while – the result of a failed automatic WordPress update. I finally got around to fixing it! Since there’s nothing new to report (other than the pair of Maroons being a pair of Maroons) I thought I’d first update […]
I promised something new, so it seems now is a good time to say that once again, the rubbing, cleaning, and courting continue. However, we still have no eggs. Despite the ongoing waiting period, it doesn’t prevent aquarists like John Coppolino, and Marc Levenson, both in Duluth to speak at our local club, from being […]
