I think my clown fish are going to spawn soon... they are really sticking to the side of this one rock, cleaning it and making what I think are test runs back and forth.
Cool! tell me if they do spawn and the clown fish make it ill be happy to take one off your hands if you have to many
My clowns started spawning about a year ago ever since they spawn every two weeks but haven't tried to raise them.If you are going to try I wish you good luck.
It's not something that I have time to work on right now. but I may play around with it in the future if they do spawn. I think the hardest part is the phytoplankton and rotifers. does anyone make there own phytoplanton?
I have cultured phyto in the past and it is very simple. We had a workshop at one of our meetings a couple years ago on how to build your own phyto culture unit. I can dig the plans up if you are interested. I have one here if you want to see it. Since Kathy L came to Reef Splash I have been considering a set up to try and raise some of the clowns I have that also spawn often. I think this is something that can be done on a small scale in any home system. The rotifer culture is the only thing that needs a little extra care, but still easily done if set up right.
