Been a while since I shared photos of the F1 spawning Lightning X Lightning pair. So here’s how they look now:
Been a while since I shared photos of the F1 spawning Lightning X Lightning pair. So here’s how they look now:
Let’s start with Spawn #34 – as of Sunday morning, 6/15/2014, there were a lot of dead eggs on the bottom of the tank, but when I gave the eggs the viability test (touch them and see the larvae wiggle inside) they were actually still alive. I pulled them and placed them in a specimen […]
It’s taken over 24 hours of work, but the website has been updated with new photos of many Lightning and White Stripe Maroon Clownfish. 5 new fish have been added to the inventory as well! I’m not going to post every last new photo in a blog post. Instead, you can follow the links to […]
Lots of updates with no photos, so why not take a moment and remember what we all really enjoy – seeing these fish grow up. First up, my one-ventral-finned holdback so I can keep tracking developing photos of the pattern on this fish. Before I left on my fishing trip last week, I took the […]
I finally go to shot some photos last week (October 14th), and among them are updates of the holdback pair. I’ve also updated the “Lightning Maroon Pattern Progression” post to show how it continues to evolve. Here’s the latest:
The forced size differentiation of my holdback Lightning pair continues and is going well…my chosen female is growing larger and larger. It’s “only a matter of time”.
As of 2:35 AM, Friday, June 21st, 2013, all 30 fish initially planned for release have been posted here on this website for your review and consideration. Please review the Lightning Maroon Clownfish Offspring Inventory to see all 30 fish. The motivations behind this monumental task (it took me in the neighborhood of 20 hours […]
With all the stuff going on, I realized it’s been months since I showed the pair of Lightnings that I saved for myself. I also wanted to update the “Lightning Maroon Clownfish Pattern Progression & Development” post, as there is obviously still a fair amount of justifiable skepticism as to whether these offspring will ever […]
Months back I moved the Lightning pair to the basement following the ongoing disease problems the pair was suffering through. In short, this last ditch effort worked, and the pair (along with their Foureye Butterfly companion) have lived in a 33 gallon extra long since then. Their Ecoxotic Cube Tank was bleached to sterlize, and […]
Finally, some risk is diversified again. The second of 3 locally-planned backup pairs is out of the house, this time going to Frank (who you may remember contributed the massive “Labrador” Maroon Clown to this project way back in the day). Frank is an aquarist who’s in it for the long haul, so you know […]
