Popular Post Timfish Posted July 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2019 I've been pretty sure for a couple decades grammas in my tanks are breeding but this is the first time I've seen and recovered an egg mass from the male's nest. The video is shows the larva at about 18 hours old, assuming the hatch at sunset (lights off) like clownfish. They are much smaller than clownfish larva, the faint grid on the background is 1/4" graph paper 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Here's pics of the egg mass I forgot to add yesterday. Their roughly a third the size of clownfish eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshel1217 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 thats awesome are you going to try to raise them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 I did get rotifers used for clowns but I didn't see any feeding. Size may have been a factor or maybe species. Benroman has raised clowns and is looking into it. Unlike clowns that lay a large batch every few weeks female grammas lay just a few eggs daily and the location of the male's nest is known getting more eggs to work with should be much of a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+benroman Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I do raise clowns [emoji1782] and I have kids that are clowns and I have fish that are clowns. Well I am the biggest clown of all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
