The first night about 2 clowns hatched and then last night the rest of them did. I have no idea how many there are but at least 100 at this point. I will try to get a pic or video soon.   #3 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: Premnas biaculeatus (Gold Striped) Wednesday, June 15, 2011 6:22 PM (permalink) Nice work Tom! http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #4 tommyb Total Posts : 25 Reward points : 166 Joined: 4/6/2011 Location: Commerce Twp, MI Status: offline MBI: 245 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Premnas biaculeatus (Gold Striped) Thursday, June 16, 2011 9:35 AM (permalink) The best pics I could get with a Sony pns.       #5 tommyb Total Posts : 25 Reward points : 166 Joined: 4/6/2011 Location: Commerce Twp, MI Status: offline MBI: 245 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Premnas biaculeatus (Gold Striped) Monday, June 20, 2011 10:01 AM (permalink) The fry are on day 6 and I started adding Oto A today. Actually most of them are on Day 5 and a few on Day 6. I had some die but overall there are probably 50+ left.   The parents laid their second clutch of eggs and there seem to be even more. This was 2 days ago and the eggs were much oranger this time. I guess I need to set up another larval rearing tank. Not sure how many batches of eggs I should try to raise in a row??   Will try to get pics of the fry and new eggs later today.   #6 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: Premnas biaculeatus (Gold Striped) Monday, June 20, 2011 10:51 AM (permalink) The clutches will improve as the pair gets the hang of things. You can't really keep every clutch unless you have a lot of room and want to do a lot more work. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #7 FlynnFish Total Posts : 212 Reward points : 457 Joined: 4/10/2011 Location: Warren, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 605 Pnts MBI Site: Captive Reefs.com Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Premnas biaculeatus (Gold Striped) Wednesday, June 22, 2011 10:20 AM (permalink) Dont forget, you got to find a place to take all these fry once they are ready. This is probablly the most limiting factor of breeding fish. I raised my Clarkiis in November I started with 10 and still have 3 of them left 7 months later.   #8 FlynnFish Total Posts : 212 Reward points : 457 Joined: 4/10/2011 Location: Warren, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 605 Pnts MBI Site: Captive Reefs.com Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Premnas biaculeatus (Gold Striped) Wednesday, June 22, 2011 10:21 AM (permalink) Terrific Job by the way.     #9 tommyb Total Posts : 25 Reward points : 166 Joined: 4/6/2011 Location: Commerce Twp, MI Status: offline MBI: 245 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Premnas biaculeatus (Gold Striped) Wednesday, June 22, 2011 3:21 PM (permalink) Originally Posted by FlynnFish Terrific Job by the way.

If there isn't much I will just raise a few here and there.   Most of them look like they have gone through meta so I will try to get some pics soon. They definitely are growing much faster than the clutch of Darwins I tried to raise.   #10 tommyb Total Posts : 25 Reward points : 166 Joined: 4/6/2011 Location: Commerce Twp, MI Status: offline MBI: 245 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Premnas biaculeatus (Gold Striped) Saturday, June 25, 2011 12:43 PM (permalink) Does this count as "settlement". This one has 2 stripes already. I have about 20 left at this point with a new batch ready to hatch tonight. Best pics I could get.             #11 tommyb Total Posts : 25 Reward points : 166 Joined: 4/6/2011 Location: Commerce Twp, MI Status: offline MBI: 245 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Premnas biaculeatus (Gold Striped) Sunday, August 28, 2011 6:23 AM (permalink) Here is a pic for the 60 dps:   I have sold 12 of them to a LFS by me and the rest are doing great. I really like the one in the bottom left with the spot.   #12 Arc Katana Total Posts : 929 Reward points : 1293 Joined: 10/20/2009 Status: offline MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Premnas biaculeatus (Gold Striped) Sunday, August 28, 2011 6:34 AM (permalink) 60 days is the standard set at MBI past settlement. Congrats!  Now just give them eight or nine months to get the gold on the stripes   #13 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
