There are about 10 now that have settled and look just like minature adults. They are soooo cute! I still have the younger ones that should begin settling in a week or so! It will be neat to see a tank full of young neons Doni Marie~   #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: [Elactinus oceanops Wednesday, February 16, 2011 11:22 AM (permalink) What type of copepods are you feeding? http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #25 woodstock Total Posts : 231 Reward points : 263 Joined: 8/18/2010 Location: Hillsborough, NC Status: offline MBI: 1190 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re: Breeding Journal, Species: [Elactinus oceanops Wednesday, February 16, 2011 2:10 PM (permalink) Apocyclops panamensis and another unknown copepod.  I should try to get an ID on the unknown....

How many do you have total from this batch?   I'd like to try these again. My first attempt didn't go well since I got unhealthy specimens.  Can you offer any suggestions on getting a M/F pair? Witt was kinda vague on how to tell the sexes apart.   Also, I understand that these fish have a relatively short life span. Have you run into that problem yet?  http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #28 woodstock Total Posts : 231 Reward points : 263 Joined: 8/18/2010 Location: Hillsborough, NC Status: offline MBI: 1190 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re: Breeding Journal, Species: [Elactinus oceanops Saturday, February 19, 2011 8:32 PM (permalink) This is actually two batches; one with a dozen initially and the second with over 100.  I only have 20-25 that are post settlement.  Once they settled, they become very territorial and kept all the non-settled younger fry in the corner. I lost many each night to starvation (I think).   You should try again Tal. Purchase 4-6 and place them in a small tank (maybe 10-15 gallon) and watch for aggression. Remove any that are getting chased. You'll end up with a pair.  Put the remaining together and repeat.    I've read that they do not live long either   I've not lost my breeders yet. I think they were young when I got them because they have certainly grown.

I really want to work with yellow Assessors though so that's eating up my budget at the moment. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #30 Umm_fish?

There are about 30 (were 50+ before I sold some) or so in a 40 gallon breeder filled with red macro algae and about 100-120 clownfish juveniles.  Some appear gravid now that they are matured!

Very little chasing if any. They are around 4.5 months post settlement now and some are almost as large as their parents.

She still has it. We thought it would die in year two, of old age, but it's still keeping on.  I raised a few batches of neons from its brothers and sisters, but none of my babies grew up to spawn for me, and I tried with several pairs.  I wonder if they were all one gender, or the cues to switch to the other gender were not there with fish from the same nest….just guessing.   I am trying again with a fresh batch of neons from ORA.  Nice fish.   #37 woodstock Total Posts : 231 Reward points : 263 Joined: 8/18/2010 Location: Hillsborough, NC Status: offline MBI: 1190 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re: Breeding Journal, Species: [Elactinus oceanops Thursday, July 14, 2011 6:38 PM (permalink) Thanks! Interesting theory Kathy about them not pairing up from the same spawn. I'll try to pair up a few of mine and see if they spawn.
