breeding

Hello again Reef2Reef Members, my name is Jasper and I posted here a few months ago about Bangaii breeding, see my profile for further history. Tldr I have a pair of breeding Bangaii, first birth the father spewed many of his eggs early but I caught them. I got some great knowledge from the...

I’m QTing/Holding some livestock from my Dad’s tank that I’ve broken down. I have a variety of snails, hermits, a mated pair of clowns and a wrasse. I’ve found on the PVC pipes what looks to me like eggs. Anyone know who’s eggs they are?

So I currently have two clowns in my 110-gallon tank that I added on 7/12, and yesterday I added a blue tang and a purple firefish goby. I currently feed one cube of mysis (1/2 2x daily) and starting yesterday added some nori sheets although tang hasn't seemed interested in it yet, shes eaten...

Hi there, my name is Jasper and I have run into a breeding question that I thought the fine folk here on Reef2Reef could help me with. First time breeder here, tank specs are on my profile but I do have two Bangaii Cardinals in the tank now that are the subject of this post. I have a Male...

Hey all, I added about 10 berghia into my tank at the end of March. After nearly 3 months I have 5 left. Absolutely no new ones running about, most seemed to end up in the over flow and in the sump. I have since proceeded to collect all the ones I can find in the sump, they have done a good job...

We have a female gold nugget maroon clown fish paired with a gold stripe maroon male. We've been waiting for her to turn yellow and in December she was white with black on the bottom (she was fully white before) and now she is pretty much black..... we're not sure why or what could of...

Hi all I took a pair of breeding storm clowns from My lfs about 1.5 years ago. They were laying regularly at the lfs. Moved them to their own 75l tank and they stopped laying. I have seen them lay eggs a couple Of weeks ago but the female ate them by midday the next day. This is the second time...

First post - I wanted to share this oddity of starry blennies spawning in less than ideal conditions and observations about the pair in general. This might be of interest to anyone interested in pairing starries. There wasn't too much information I could find on either pairing them or breeding...

I got a hole in my rhodactis. I have no idea how it could have torn at all, I haven't touched it in the last few months. I have a theory that he's trying to split, since the mouth is partially divided. Is that how he's dividing or is he really hurt? Should I split it in half with a blade? (It is...

I have a pair of clowns that have been hiding a lot more recently. I have double checked triple checked for signs of disease but see nothing. They have a good appetite and come out when I approach the tank. One hides in the back and another between the rock structure. I noticed that maybe both...

(sorry if this is a duplicate to the question post i made a little earlier, im not terribly experienced with a true forum format yet) Hello! forgive my possible lack of candor, I'm totally inexperienced in the realm of saltwater enclosures, but I do have a crazy idea (ahhh yes, the classic...

Hi There, my clown fish pair laid eggs 5 days back. The eggs are still on the rock and deem to be developing... Would they hatch and babies survive in tank like mine? i changed 30% water today, i change 25% every 3 weeks... My tank is 8 foot long and 24 inch by 24 inch Powerheads on both...

Lucked out and found local reefer getting out of the hobby and gave me this bonded pair of clowns. They are about 4 years old. Interested in possibly breeding them, not sure where to start. Most youtube videos focus on after they lay eggs, my question is how do i get there lol. I got them set up...

Hello Everyone I just wanted to get your thoughts on this clownfish pair that host the corner of the tank, they have been wiggling together a lot and it seems the male has also started chasing the female a lot these past 24 hours , do you think they might be getting ready to have babies ? If so...

$200 or looking to trade for another designer pair or ? changing up stuff getting bored I guess

This is probably going to sound abit odd to some people, but I’ve been breeding berghina nudibranchs for about a year now. As such I have a small tank that I use to grow aptasia on live rock to feed to them. The tank is 30l, full of live rock, has a cheap Chinese light and filter on it and gets...

In our work tanks I have a school of 6 red spot cardinals (apogon parvulus, but some sources say ostorhinchus parvulus?) and one of them has a fat mouth full of eggs! He(?) briefly spat them out partially and immediately pulled them back in so I did get a visual confirmation on them, theyre...

Digging through some old photos and found this photo from when I was doing aquarium service. This tank was a 200 gal mixed reef. Changing out filter socks one day and saw movement in the refugium. This little one was about the size of a pencil eraser. No clue how it managed to get down there but...

Hello :) My Garden Eels have been spawning kind of semi-regularly for a few years now. I have caught and hatched the eggs a few times but never been able to get the larvae past 11-14dph. I'm assuming it's down to what I'm feeding them. I have one batch parvo calanus pods but they didn't survive...

Hey guys thought you might like this little video I put together of the Biocube. My cardinals have done this one other time and we had little babies swimming around however the male got hungry unfortunately. Enjoy.

As an avid freshwater enthusiast, I absolutely love freshwater shrimp, especially since they will breed constantly and keep their populations high without much effort. Now, of course any saltwater critter might take some more elbow grease to get breeding, but I'd still love to have some version...

I slightly panicked for a second when I first saw a bunch of little orange dots in my aquarium right next to my ocellaris clownfish and their anemone. My immediate thought was that it was some weird algae or pest. A few seconds later I realized my clowns had laid eggs! I thought it was pretty...

Hi, I Currently Have a 15G Tank with a pair of clowns. I have a spare 10-gallon tank that I was planning on turning into a sump but I'm not sure if it will be suitable for 2 pairs of clowns. Would this be more successful and easier to maintain than turning the 10-gallon into a new tank and...

I'm looking for breeding pairs of clowns. Preferrably a pair that has already spawned. I've been searching online but it's mostly bonded pairs not pairs that have actually bred. Im a sucker for black and mocha storms lol. Let me know if you have any!

Hi all, It’s now Day 3 since my clownfish laid eggs and I was wondering if anyone here can give me a load of useful information/tips that will aid me in raising the fry. I have wanted to breed clownfish for a while and I have done my research so I know the basics but I’m after more searching...
