•  So easy you can do it by accident!

Wednesday, December 8, 2010 8:13 PM (permalink) 0 This is a very interesting idea. I imagine Banggais make an ideal target for this method partially because of their well developed young. With some trial and error I think we could expand the list of species this technique works with. I'm thinking perhaps Calloplesiops altivelis and some Syngnathids might be good candidates. And perhaps we could further extend the list with a few simple refinements to the technique like adding some live rotifers occasionally to keep their population in the tank up.   On a related note, this got me thinking about the concept of an "ecosystem" display tank. With this technique perhaps more people would be interested in keeping some short lived species (some cephalopods, for example) if it meant that enough of the next generation would survive without the tank owner having to maintain an active breeding program.   #21 Umm_fish?

Wednesday, December 8, 2010 11:20 PM (permalink) 0 I've seen an attempt at something like that (based on a _way_ cool tank design, BTW ) for jellyfish. The tank was separated into different zones where different stages could have their space, including a kreisel-type thing in one compartment. --Andy, the bucket man.

Sunday, December 26, 2010 4:20 PM (permalink) 0 So it seems you can do it not once but twice by accident. I decided to tear down the display and clean it so I started looking around the tank and found these guys:     5 of them.. Way smaller than the ones I had been watching for the last month or so and probably about a week old. So it would appear that although I was not able to find the parents the last time I looked when I found the first two. They must have still been in the tank and actively breeding.

The tank where the parents are supposed to be (if I could find them!) the rock is just piled up so it's fairly tight in some areas and kinda open in others.

I think you are on to something here, and have pointed out why my attempts with 3 spawning pairs ended with no success.  Hiding places, I think for the parental male as well, and water flow.  We live and we learn...   #28 THEJRC Total Posts : 1006 Scores: 4 Reward points : 555 Joined: 10/23/2009 Location: Colorado Springs, CO, US Status: offline MBI: 210 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:So easy you can do it by accident!

Sunday, July 31, 2011 10:15 AM (permalink) 0 My problem has been in getting more brood stock since loosing mine. I have one in QT right now ( not sure of the sex of course )   but I've been having a hard time finding any more.   I'd like to get ahold of 4-5 more at one time and see what I can do.
