Day 91: This is _my_ overflow. Big ball. So, the one to the lower left is obviously a cull (gill flare). At what point do you cull, though? The one above and a little to the right shows a little, but not much. Or, maybe this one?

A person asked me to post some updated photos of the kids. I'm still having a little trouble focusing sometimes so I apologize for the ones that are out-of-focus. This one's fairly typical of the early-developers. Looks like the early coloration might have something to do with onyx development. Maybe? Just a guess. Well into tail stripe development. With sideburn stripes. Without sideburn stripes and still a little slow on the tail stripe. Early developer with sideburn but not a lot of other stripe aberrations. A pretty typical later developer. Still a little pale but a nice-looking fish. A clown ball. You can see that some of these have a more peach/pink color. Gale says that he gets some of these, too. Genetic variant? Another that seems on the way to onyx.

So, what are these? They are not hybrids since they are both percula, right? They are simply percs, but different color percs? Nice pictures, makes me want to try clowns

Are you getting any that have typical A. percula patterns? My Picassos throw some that are slow barring like normal A. precula and some that get fully developed patterns that have all 3 bars way earlier than typical A. percula. All in the same batch.

Rook: Yeah, they are mixes of different strains of the same species. Tal: Yes, there are some that are pretty typical perc. Surprising to me how low the percentage actually is of normal-looking ones. The high percentage of misbars is not something that was usual when Gale raised other batches of them, though I don't know what his percentage looks like on recent runs.

Any update on these guys? My percula/ picasso pair spawned recently and I'm curious to see if mine turn out like yours. Any possibility you could post some pics of the parents?

Here's a video that I took a few days ago: They are still swimming around, being silly fish.

Thanks, y'all. I just wish that I could sell them faster. I want the space to work on new projects. Plus, they are eating me out of house and home and water changes.

Do you by any chance have pictures of the parents?

I don't, actually. These are from a pair of Zooid's fish and I can't find that he's put up pictures of the parents anywhere. Maybe he'll take pity and post some here?

No clue. My batch of eggs came out with a pretty high percentage of fish with some strange patterning. Gale hasn't had nearly that experience, which makes me wonder if there's also an environmental component to the patterning in addition to the genetics involved.

Grr. My fish photo server is down. I'll try to get working on that. In the meantime, I'm excited to report that I finally caught two of the babies from this bunch spawning today! It's been so damn long.... But I'm excited because this is a new era: Clowns have never spawned for me before. Here's a bad phone photo of the spawn. It's on the aquarium seam near the top of the water. Their tank is almost completely full of chaeto.

Nice! I still have the pair of babies from this batch you sent me long ago, Andy. They've spawned for me a few times, but I've not yet attempted to raise any of the larvae. Good luck with them!

Thanks, y'all! Here's dad tending the eggs: Both of the adults have some flared gills but I figured that to be a developmental issue rather than genetic so I never culled for that. It really was a bummer. They were all developing really well and I missed a water change or two and bam. Lots of flared gills.
