New Clown!

I can't wait to see either . Yes, you are correct about the filefish. If I CAN raise either or both of those species I will still raise clowns. I work for a fish store so I have access to tanks for grow out, a solid customer base, and any supplies I need.

Chris, this nest of black and whites is a little smaller than usual so I'm going to beef up my feedings and try to get a big nest. I don't plan on raise any more onyx because my picasso/perc pair produce a mix of regular and normal clowns so I don't really need them anymore. I might replace them with a different species.

ooh........like maybe a platinum?

now THIS is a great set up!!!

Ill bet those filefish will be easier to keep that wild caught adults, no sticking food to a dead acropora.

I'm undecided what species I will replaced the percs with. I am considering a pair of platinums or maybe ora's new black snowflakes.

I really like the breeders blend, the fish go crazy for it especially the filefish.

Yes cb filefish would be much easier. I don't know if I'll be able to pull it off bit I have to give it a shot.

Did you ever get new clowns Blake?

Nope, I'm mixing up the tanks so no room for more adult clowns!

mixing up the tanks????? do you mean you're combining them? or are you adding different fish to them too? are you not breeding anymore?

I've taken a break from breeding for now. It's too much to handle between school and work. I'm graduating early though so I will start breeding again in January.

I am keeping the 120 mixed reef, downgrading the 60 gallon seahorse cube to a 29 gallon cube, getting rid of the 46 and setting up a frogfish tank. He will be here tomorrow! I'm going to stick him in a net breeder until his tank cycles.
