[Guy]

[maroon6000]

Sorry for being abrupt. Sleepy time I guess.

There are a few places that sell them online but they are often out of stock. I guess you just have to check often. I think I remember seeing them at Premium Aquatics but I just checked and they don't have any.

what kind of clowns do you breed and what kind do you have now.

[Guy]

I breed Ocellaris and Gold-Stripe Maroons. I have a nearby store that buys all of them from me. About 1/2 of the Ocellaris end up being Black just like the male. Unfortunately they don't turn black until they are 12 - 18 months old so when I sell them I only can guess at which way they will turnout.

[maroon6000]

can i buy a pair of them from you. and i could wait until they are black cause i want a pair of black ocellaris for a breeding thing.

i have a pair of marrons too female is white striped and the male is yellow.

they haven't breed yet and i want to push them along any suggestions and could i use u as a mentor for my maroons

they are in a nice 30 gallon tank with live rock and some acros and zooz and a small bubble tip anemone.

she is 4 inches and he is a 1 1/2 to 2 inches

[Guy]

It would be expensive beyond reasonable for me to ship 2 Clownfish.

For the Maroons, I would be very happy to help. It's a catch 22 thing. You need massive amounts of nutritious food plus excellent water quality.

[maroon6000]

sure i understand

maybe i will just get them online and hope they arive alive.

I have a pair of maroon clowns that spawn about every 2-3 weeks like clock work and would love to raise the fry could you give me some help with what kind of rotifers would be best to feed to them

[Guy]

I use saltwater rotifers. I propogate them in 32 gallon roughneck containers (grey). When a batch of Clownfish eggs is about to hatch I place the eggs right in the Rotifer Container. I have a brace that keeps them just barely under the water level and I increase the airstone to provide just slightly more circulation.

first i want to congratulate you on such wonderfull photos of your clowns and your achievement there beautifull thanks for sharing them with us.
second the reason for butting in on your thred. i have a pair of gold stripe marroon clowns who spawn every 10 days. i have ordered joyce wilkersons book to help me decide if i should try to raise the fry in the future. i am in the uk. i live in Snowdonia North Wales and i have searched everywhere and asked everyone for help to find another pair for my other tank. i really would prefere to buy a tank bred pair but it is looking impossable to find any even caught ones with you being into breeding do you know of any breeders in the uk ? anywhere ? i really do prefere tank bred ? can you give me any advice and help in my quest ? thanks laina

take a large clown (female) and place it together with a very small one (male)


99% of the time you will have a pair within 24 hrs
