bige Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 If they breed on their own how is it wrong? Culling the Hurd is problematic but as long as your not killing them then I'm ok with it. This is how different cat breeds and dog breeds came into the cat and dog breed world. People have been mating horses with donkeys for 100's of years.

Mr Cob Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Temporary solution for getting a few pairs out of the containers until I can get the breeder stall systems complete.

Mr Cob Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Got the sump installed this weekend, it's an Aqueon ProFlex 2 and fits perfect. I also lined the stand with pond liner to assist with water spills. I just need a light for the fuge area and waiting on a skimmer. This will support 4 breeder stalls. I will have 2 of the exact systems set up for my operation. Planning to operate with 6 pairs and the open 2 stalls will be used for growout and or to move adults around.

+Mlaw Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I've heard that the fry and juveniles tend to be extremely rough on each other. Have you got a plan to minimize the damage? Seems a shame to have a perfectly good fish that you could potentially sell maimed by a sibling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cob Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 I think that is more closely related to maroons.. I have raised a clutch of True Percs before and it wasn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesreyn Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 That's why I don't like the idea of paying for a membership to be able to sell. We miss out on a lot of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cob Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 The Black Ice pair has been nesting and the female is looking beefed up. Hoping to see some eggs soon. Sent from my HTC VIVID using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cob Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Enjoy following your thread- keep up the good work Love the photos Trying something new with my snow onyx female... Just added a Premium Snowflake from Proaquatix. She was ripping into him so I put her in a holding container until the male has a chance to see his new home lol. Also just made this pair, not sure if I will keep it or not though. I really only want one maybe 2 True Percula pairs to work with. Both are picassos..

+brian.srock Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'd be a sad clown if I was a backup thats no joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cob Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 haha thanks, I really enjoy staring at them and my wife is going to hit me on the head with a fish net if I don't stop it. lol My favorite individual clownfish is the Black Snowflake and the runner up would be the Premium Blacker Ice, then the Premium Snowflake that I paired up with the Snow Onyx. Unfortunately I could not figure out where to work in the Premium Blacker Ice. I do not want to work with more than 5 pairs. I'm thinking I will let one of the picasso pairs go so that I can add in the premium blacker ice but I'm attached to both of the males from those two pairs, I guess ideally I could pair the two males up and let them duke it out but not really interested in waiting forever for them to do their thing. Too many choices. lol My favorite pair is by far the black ice pair. Not only are they a spawning pair but have super intense coloration. lol at backups! I love them...just need to figure where to use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cMidd Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Seriously though that Platinum is ridiculous white. Very unique. If I had to pick a favorite of the pics you posted I'd say the Misbar Darwin is the most "unique" lol but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
