Cameback from weekend away and they finally look like they have gone through meta. Lost about 4 of the 8 I counted on Friday. Here is a pic of one of the fish. You can just make out the red starting to come in around the head. Sorry not great shots will try and get a vid tomorrow.     #21 mPedersen Total Posts : 3450 Reward points : 1376 Joined: 2/27/2009 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 4975 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Puncticulatus Tuesday, April 12, 2011 10:33 AM (permalink) GRR, looks like photobucket has all your photos offline for the moment!  I wanted to see! (I'll have to come back later)     #22 Duck Total Posts : 466 Reward points : 465 Joined: 12/14/2010 Location: Barrow in Furness, Cumberland Status: offline MBI: 760 Pnts MBI Site: Marinefish-uk.co.uk Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Puncticulatus Wednesday, April 13, 2011 8:17 AM (permalink) Here's a vid at 40 dph. You can just make out spots of colour starting on the body. Fins are well developedand they are much harder to catch now. Lost another 2 yesterday so down to only 2 now. Have some more about a week behind these in another tub.   #23 Duck Total Posts : 466 Reward points : 465 Joined: 12/14/2010 Location: Barrow in Furness, Cumberland Status: offline MBI: 760 Pnts MBI Site: Marinefish-uk.co.uk Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Puncticulatus Friday, April 22, 2011 7:50 AM (permalink) Day 49. Pigmentation now starting to come in.   #24 Duck Total Posts : 466 Reward points : 465 Joined: 12/14/2010 Location: Barrow in Furness, Cumberland Status: offline MBI: 760 Pnts MBI Site: Marinefish-uk.co.uk Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Puncticulatus Monday, May 2, 2011 8:38 AM (permalink) Lost about 8 of these fry this weekend. Only one remaining now in the BRT. I can't seem to get them feeding on anything. They spend all their time stuck to the side of the BRT what looks like grazing on the algal growth. The top  3" of the tub is completely stripped of all life where they were swimming round the tub cleaning of any algae. I have been feeding nhbs, bbs 100,200 micron powdered larvae feed all it seems to no avail. The remaining larvae is approx 12mm now, but doesn't seem interested in anything that isnt attached to the side of the BRT. Any thoughts, comments much appreciated. If these are algal grazers, (which it seems they have been doing since settlement) would it be worth trying to add more surface area for them to graze? I know in the commercial prawn farming industry they use plastic weed beds in the growout tanks to encourage growth of algae and provide perching plaaces.   #25 Umm_fish?

I'd also probably add in harps just to see if they'd give them a try. Maybe Tisbe? --Andy, the bucket man.

Looking in the BRT today and to my suprise there were 2 perfect miniature Redheads. Don't know wher the second one has been hiding. One is slightly larger than the other about 13mm and 11mm and has slightly more whitish colour on the body, But you can only spot them by there red heads as most of the body is still clear. Still not quite sure what they are feeding on. They spend most of the time stationary on the bottom or side close to the bottom. I did manage to see one of them devour a 400 micron pellet yesterday as it floated to the bottom, but thats the only time I have seen it feed. Will try and get some shots next week.   #27 luis a m Total Posts : 451 Reward points : 1249 Joined: 3/15/2011 Location: Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, AR Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Puncticulatus Sunday, May 8, 2011 4:12 PM (permalink) Congrats,well done! Feed them bbs,they take small prey close to the substrate,but I don´t think they graze on algae at this time.Offer Oto B or such until they start to take it.   #28 Duck Total Posts : 466 Reward points : 465 Joined: 12/14/2010 Location: Barrow in Furness, Cumberland Status: offline MBI: 760 Pnts MBI Site: Marinefish-uk.co.uk Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Puncticulatus Tuesday, May 10, 2011 8:27 AM (permalink) Managed to get a shot of one of them today, not great but you can make out the clear colour and pattern on the fish.   #29 Duck Total Posts : 466 Reward points : 465 Joined: 12/14/2010 Location: Barrow in Furness, Cumberland Status: offline MBI: 760 Pnts MBI Site: Marinefish-uk.co.uk Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Elacatinus Puncticulatus Friday, May 20, 2011 4:19 PM (permalink) Day 76. Got a couple of decent shots of the fish today as I have moved them to a growout tank. There feeding on 400 micron pellets and frozen cyclopeeze.   #30 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: Elacatinus Puncticulatus Friday, May 20, 2011 5:38 PM (permalink) Awesome!

I do hope I get another chance with this pair as I feel I will be able to get much more through settlement next time. Here is some shots I took today.   #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: Elacatinus Puncticulatus Tuesday, June 7, 2011 3:51 PM (permalink) Nice shots, their color really is amazing!
