Ill take some photos tomorrow, then post and do a report. In total I have three species that all have now made it to 60 days post settlement (about 74 days post hatch) within 1-2 days of each other.   I also have a second batch about a month younger than these ones that are also growing well.     #13 r33fking Total Posts : 112 Reward points : 316 Joined: 3/10/2011 Location: Eugene, OR, US Status: offline MBI: 300 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Amphiprion clarkii] Friday, February 3, 2012 10:42 AM (permalink) Originally Posted by EasterEggs Those are unusual looking Clarkii, no?  Do you have a better pic of the parents from the side?  they are very nice looking! are they sebae?   #14 CaptCrash Total Posts : 648 Reward points : 1241 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Amphiprion clarkii] Friday, February 3, 2012 8:00 PM (permalink) I purchased them as clarkii, but that's just was the LFS listed them as I suppose. My understanding is that they were wild caught from Darwin area of Northern Territory. on looking at the colour patterns shown on fish base they look like clarkii, though both species are listed as having wide colour variation. What makes you guys think that they are not clarkii? I should have some time to catch them both and photograph this afternoon.   #15 r33fking Total Posts : 112 Reward points : 316 Joined: 3/10/2011 Location: Eugene, OR, US Status: offline MBI: 300 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Amphiprion clarkii] Friday, February 3, 2012 8:26 PM (permalink) its hard to tell from the pics but the almost diagonal body stripe on the male (i think the male ) made me think sebae . could just be the angle . either way they dont look like common sebae or clarkii  they are wicked BEAUTIFUL specimens !!! i would love to see more pics      i love your photos   #16 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Amphiprion clarkii] Friday, February 3, 2012 9:10 PM (permalink) Someone suggested I look at "melanistic Clarkii" photos, and yours do look like melanistic Clarkii.  I've never seen Clarkii like these (or yours).  Just "unusual" I guess...?   #17 CaptCrash Total Posts : 648 Reward points : 1241 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Amphiprion clarkii] Saturday, February 4, 2012 12:28 AM (permalink) I have some more information.   I talked to the supplier I got them from this morning when picking up some other fish. They are Western Australian, clarkii from the Ningaloo Reef area.  He had another pair, one of which was almost identical to the ones I have.   So, I think in the end, I just have an interesting looking pair. The kids are really cute as well.   #18 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2905 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Amphiprion clarkii] Saturday, February 4, 2012 12:36 AM (permalink) That is so cool, knowing the origin of the fish you have.   http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #19 CaptCrash Total Posts : 648 Reward points : 1241 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Amphiprion clarkii] Sunday, February 5, 2012 7:05 AM (permalink) A photo of the adults.     #20 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: 12 > | Showing page 1 of 2, messages 1 to 20 of 32 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
