The Breeding Blog

I created this blog for two reasons:
To serve as my memory, and to share information about captive breeding of marine fish.

A. polymnus | Saddleback Clownfish at 12 days old

Just a quick update... the Saddlebacks are 12 days old!!

Since my last post, I have lost 2 larvae.  The remaining are growing well.  There are approximately 6 - 8 that have gone through metamorphosis... Pretty exciting stuff  :)

At this age, they are also fed brine shrimp nauplii and some Otohime larval feed.  I continue with my daily water changes with fresh salt mix aerated for 24 hours.

I caught a quick video clip before cleaning their tank (scraping the sides clean, siphoning out water, rotifers, brine, etc) and adding more RotiGreen & enriched rotifers.  I figured it would be easier to see... it didn't come out too bad.  You can see 2 of the Saddlebacks that have gone through meta.
