So I put the trap in to try and catch him in since I think the eggs are going to hatch very soon! Any idea if after they hatch, if he will still keep the larvae in his mouth for a short time?   #44 Bongo Shrimp Total Posts : 231 Reward points : 425 Joined: 12/14/2009 Location: West Bloomfield Status: offline MBI: 1070 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Tuesday, May 25, 2010 2:51 PM (permalink) Still has the eggs in his mouth.  That means it takes at least 6+ days for the eggs to hatch.  Making progress here!!!! Now the eggs are more clear than pink and I can see eyes and a few other unknown black baby fish parts in his mouth!!! I don't know what to do!  I don't know what to do!   #45 slosht Total Posts : 178 Reward points : 1162 Joined: 5/4/2009 Location: Clinton Twp, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Tuesday, May 25, 2010 6:16 PM (permalink) Making some good progress.  Just try and relax.  I don't have any advice other than that.   #46 cmpenney Total Posts : 2772 Reward points : 1443 Joined: 7/18/2005 Location: Reading, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 70 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Tuesday, May 25, 2010 7:07 PM (permalink) I think you are supposed to wait till they actually hatch but with them being so close you might be able to tumble them to finish them up. Your kinda in uncharted waters for the most part so It's going to be a guessing game.

Oh and I'm not freaking out, I'm just excited!   #48 Bongo Shrimp Total Posts : 231 Reward points : 425 Joined: 12/14/2009 Location: West Bloomfield Status: offline MBI: 1070 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Wednesday, May 26, 2010 3:12 PM (permalink) Well, after seven days in the male's mouth, I finally caught him, got the eggs out, and put them in a tupperware container (all I had at the moment) with an air line.  Almost immediately little fish started swimming around!  Video coming shortly.       So, am I the first to successfully hatch Copper Cards in captivity?   What should I feed?  I don't have any live stuff right now.  Anyone have anything I could buy from you?   #49 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: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Wednesday, May 26, 2010 3:39 PM (permalink) This is great. From what I read you need to get them eating small-strain rotifers. Copepod nauplii would be a good idea as well.  I have rotifers, probably L-strain, but I'm sure there are nauplii in with them that would be of use. I have copepods too. Give me a shout if you want to come over and get some.   http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #50 fishboy13 Total Posts : 151 Reward points : 431 Joined: 10/25/2009 Location: Waterford, MI Status: offline MBI: 480 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Wednesday, May 26, 2010 4:04 PM (permalink) Awww, green eyes just like me .   #51 Bongo Shrimp Total Posts : 231 Reward points : 425 Joined: 12/14/2009 Location: West Bloomfield Status: offline MBI: 1070 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Wednesday, May 26, 2010 8:21 PM (permalink) Ok :::Update::: So now, the larvae are in 2g of water in a 5g bucket with an air hose and with copepod nauplii (courtesy of Tal) and with some DTs for the nauplii to eat.

I gave him rotifers too, I think he just forgot to mention them.

Pics of a ~1 day old coming shortly...   #56 THEJRC Total Posts : 1006 Reward points : 555 Joined: 10/23/2009 Location: Colorado Springs, CO, US Status: offline MBI: 210 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Thursday, May 27, 2010 3:42 PM (permalink) ah just caught the glass funnel post look at wine shops, glass funnels are used often to fill decanters as well as aerate the wine.  I picked up a decanter and glass funnel a long while ago from www.wineenthusiast.com that I typically use for wine but  well... it's seen the tank from time to time... now that I poke around trying to find it I see a ton of stuff I should probably snag up on to use!!  In any case, make sure you pick up lead free! Also may want to look at the "cleaning beads" that they carry, they are small stainless steel ball bearings that can be used inside glass and plasticware to "scrub" away filament.  I use them a lot to clean my culture vessels.

They can get really pricey, especially when they use words like laboratory and vintage. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #58 Bongo Shrimp Total Posts : 231 Reward points : 425 Joined: 12/14/2009 Location: West Bloomfield Status: offline MBI: 1070 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Thursday, May 27, 2010 5:12 PM (permalink) Thanks guys!  I'll look into getting one for a tumbler. Here's a ~1 day old larvae pic.  This one seems to have a deformed spine. Maybe it will straighten out as he grows. Sorry these pics aren't too great.  I'm using a cheap digital microscope and the fish is constantly darting around.   #59 fishboy13 Total Posts : 151 Reward points : 431 Joined: 10/25/2009 Location: Waterford, MI Status: offline MBI: 480 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Copperbanded Cardinal Fish (Apogon margaritophorus) Thursday, May 27, 2010 5:32 PM (permalink) I wonder how long his yolk sack will last, it looks like two days until it starves if it is not fed good luck with them .  Also how are you getting them onto the microscope slide? (Maybe that is how it got damaged)   #60 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 12345 > | Showing page 3 of 5, messages 41 to 60 of 96 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
