Hang in there!     #67 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Amphiprion thiellei Friday, October 5, 2012 3:13 PM (permalink) 0 [This post was marked as helpful] Agreed. Leaving the fish to themselves with little distraction and lots of food will produce better spawning results, IMO. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #68 WDLV Total Posts : 53 Scores: 0 Reward points : 53 Joined: 10/25/2011 Location: Rosedale, MD, US Status: offline MBI: 5 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Amphiprion thiellei Friday, October 5, 2012 3:19 PM (permalink) 0 Thanks for the input.  Three of you thinking the same thing is good enough arguement for me.  Now I just need to decide which of the other two pairs would be best for a reef.   #69 DThom Total Posts : 43 Scores: 0 Reward points : 1252 Joined: 11/5/2009 Location: Flower Mound, TX, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Amphiprion thiellei Friday, October 5, 2012 3:24 PM (permalink) 0 Yeah, when waiting for a pair to start spawning, it is good to have some other projects to focus on.  Have fun with the reef!   #70 WDLV Total Posts : 53 Scores: 0 Reward points : 53 Joined: 10/25/2011 Location: Rosedale, MD, US Status: offline MBI: 5 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Amphiprion thiellei Friday, October 5, 2012 3:26 PM (permalink) 0 I have a stand for a 75.  Maybe that BTA anemone reef is still a plausible venture....   #71 mPedersen Total Posts : 3450 Scores: 29 Reward points : 1376 Joined: 2/27/2009 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 4975 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re:Amphiprion thiellei Friday, October 5, 2012 4:17 PM (permalink) 0 Walt, why is the 10 "not stable"???  I was spawning Black Ocellaris in a 6 gallon nanocube....   #72 WDLV Total Posts : 53 Scores: 0 Reward points : 53 Joined: 10/25/2011 Location: Rosedale, MD, US Status: offline MBI: 5 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Amphiprion thiellei Friday, October 5, 2012 4:23 PM (permalink) 0 It's a 10 gallon BB tank with a Whisper EX45 Power filter.  I could provide better stability if such a tank were attached to a rack.  I'm presuming that your nano at least had substrate of some sort and possibly a skimmer.   At least with the 20L or a 75 I could use a HOB skimmer and a power filter along with substrate.  Kinda like Wilkerson's book suggests.   #73 just clownin around Total Posts : 50 Scores: 0 Reward points : 121 Joined: 8/11/2012 Location: Venice, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Amphiprion thiellei Thursday, November 1, 2012 8:58 PM (permalink) 0 leave them where they are and let them be.  the 3 people that replied to you have stellar track records with getting fish to spawn.  i have 9 out of 21 pairs that are spawning and am looking for a mate for my thielle.  once i put the pair in there tank i would not think of moving them.  they may be stubborn spawners but i would not mess with them.  if you are looking for more stability add a bigger filter and maybe a tunze nano skimmer.   #74 WDLV Total Posts : 53 Scores: 0 Reward points : 53 Joined: 10/25/2011 Location: Rosedale, MD, US Status: offline MBI: 5 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Amphiprion thiellei Monday, November 5, 2012 8:45 AM (permalink) 0 I will definately have one more move for at least two of the pairs once the new fish room is completed.  My hope is that the move is permanent. My pair in my son's Spongebob tank has been doing a lot of cleaning and rearranging.  Whether this is a sign of things to come, I don't know.   #75 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 1234 | Showing page 4 of 4, messages 61 to 75 of 75 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
