A few hours later I found him in the filter sock. I placed him back in the tank and she was chasing him around and I saw exactly how he went down the stand pipe. He's been in a breeder net since last night until I think of something better. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #21 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Thursday, April 19, 2012 10:18 AM (permalink) He just needs to submit to her, which he will sooner or later.   Breeder net is probably the best bet in the same tank until he gets the hang of things.. aka "Who's the boss!" -Adam   #22 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Sunday, April 22, 2012 10:58 PM (permalink) I took the male out of the breeder net the other day and there were still some issues so I made an egg crate barrier. I was assuming that the female was being a bit cranky because of the eggs.   The female tended to the eggs and I removed the tile on Saturday night. I'm happy to report they are getting along fine now although the eggs haven't hatched yet.  http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #23 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Sunday, April 22, 2012 11:41 PM (permalink) Good to hear! -Adam   #24 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Friday, May 18, 2012 9:17 PM (permalink) I had an extra tile of A. percula eggs so I put it in with the Darwins to see if the female would start training the male and to, hopefully, get them spawning. This is what I saw after a few hours:   http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #25 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Thursday, May 24, 2012 8:31 PM (permalink) That is so cute Tal, that little guy looks like he's pretty interested in those eggs.  Did they care for them right to hatching?   #26 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Thursday, May 24, 2012 9:05 PM (permalink) Eggs were there until this morning and appeared to have all hatched last night. I didn't try to hatch them since I have a lot of percs right now. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #27 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Thursday, May 24, 2012 9:23 PM (permalink) Yeah, I guess the 18th wasn't that long ago was it?  Haha, I was thinking that was 2 weeks ago - getting ahead of myself!  That's great they tended the eggs well and are getting along, maybe they will spawn soon.    #28 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Monday, June 4, 2012 9:28 PM (permalink) The new pair spawned for the first time today and the male appears to be doing his job. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #29 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Tuesday, June 5, 2012 3:15 PM (permalink) Hehe nice music!  That male is so cute! Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]   #30 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Tuesday, June 5, 2012 7:04 PM (permalink) Wow, that technique seems to really work!   #31 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Tuesday, June 5, 2012 10:13 PM (permalink) Looks like Mr. Darwin has been eating the eggs. The ones that are left are still bright orange but not nearly as many. I'm proud of his first attempt though. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #32 rrcg50 Total Posts : 51 Reward points : 61 Joined: 10/17/2010 Location: Venice, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 10 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Sunday, July 8, 2012 8:18 AM (permalink) For a first attempt that nest was large and all looked fertilized. Great job and I can't wait to see how he does after a few trials   #33 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Sunday, July 8, 2012 1:06 PM (permalink) We've had a 2 week heatwave and I had to keep the lights off except for feeding. Temps also got pretty high so I expect the combination of the two is going to throw everyone off schedule for a while. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #34 rrcg50 Total Posts : 51 Reward points : 61 Joined: 10/17/2010 Location: Venice, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 10 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Sunday, July 8, 2012 3:57 PM (permalink) I found that using LEDs to light the tanks has helped my temps I just bought a led light that plugs right into a standard t8 fixture minus the ballast. Color is great and wattage is half that of a t12 the same length   #35 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Thursday, August 15, 2013 12:22 PM (permalink) Sad news today. I woke up to find the male dead. They spawned two days ago and he was fine last night. No idea what happened. I've moved the eggs over to the Picasso tank in hopes that they will care for them. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #36 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Thursday, August 15, 2013 11:29 PM (permalink) If you can put another male in with the female right away, she won't miss a beat, and keep right on spawning. Leave the eggs there, too. How big is your female?  I have some blacks on hand... check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #37 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: A. ocellaris (Darwin Black variant) Thursday, August 15, 2013 11:37 PM (permalink) Originally Posted by KathyL If you can put another male in with the female right away, she won't miss a beat, and keep right on spawning. Leave the eggs there, too. How big is your female?  I have some blacks on hand... The only males/juveniles I have on hand are her offspring and I'd rather not go that route. I'll get a new male from Adam soon.   I moved the eggs to the Picasso tank for two reasons... First, since the eggs were laid on Tues I figured I better move them quick or lose them. Second, the Picassos haven't spawned regularly since last summer and I thought this might get them in gear again.   The female is pretty big and will be ~10yrs old next year.    http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #38 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 12 | Showing page 2 of 2, messages 21 to 38 of 38 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
