I have seen the freeze dried tins I'm fairly sure. It's on my list of things to do in the morning. Is the freeze dried any good or should I focus on the frozen?   #21 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: Pterapogon kauderni Thursday, February 21, 2013 1:53 PM (permalink) Originally Posted by CaptCrash I'm not sure about frozen.

Freeze dried is good but frozen is better, IMO. Freeze dried likes to float and you want to get it into the water column. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #22 CaptCrash Total Posts : 660 Reward points : 1296 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Thursday, February 21, 2013 10:54 PM (permalink) After talking to a few stores today, it looks like frozen cyclop-eeze is not avaliable in Australia, just the freeze dried tins. Other manufactorers ship cyclop's in frozen form.  Though it is unclear if this is the same thing (its cream/yellow in colour from memory not orange) and is a fresh water sourced food, rather than cyclop-eeze which is salt water from my understanding.   If I use the freeze dried, would soaking it first in RO water, be a good idea.  Then it may sink better? edit: had the sources listed backwards re salt and fresh water. <message edited by CaptCrash on Thursday, February 21, 2013 11:26 PM>   #23 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: Pterapogon kauderni Thursday, February 21, 2013 10:59 PM (permalink) You can do that and then use a turkey baster to squirt it into the water column. You can also take a small pinch with your fingers and put them under water. If you sprinkle it on top it pretty much just floats there. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #24 CaptCrash Total Posts : 660 Reward points : 1296 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Thursday, February 21, 2013 11:28 PM (permalink) Thanks Tal   #25 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: Pterapogon kauderni Thursday, February 21, 2013 11:44 PM (permalink) FWIW, I do the same pinch thing with TDO A. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #26 CaptCrash Total Posts : 660 Reward points : 1296 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Thursday, February 21, 2013 11:46 PM (permalink) we cant get TDO here , I keep asking the importer when they will bring in the Reeds foods and they are "working on it".  Comming up on 2 years now. <message edited by CaptCrash on Sunday, February 24, 2013 4:25 AM>   #27 CaptCrash Total Posts : 660 Reward points : 1296 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Sunday, February 24, 2013 4:30 AM (permalink) Images for reports   Parents Im fairly certain that the one on top is the male.  In the photo they look similar sized, but the male is smaller in the body that the female and has a longer top fin (dorsal fin?)   The fry and now absorbed the remainder of their eggs and I think I can call them settled. This pic has about 18 that hang out in one group.  Another four hang out together and there is a loan explorer that gets around the tank. The pic is a but gunky as its taken through a large amount of brine shrimp in the tank. edit: there is about 20 in the pic.   #28 Umm_fish?

Here is the picture for the 60 days post settlement (actually its 75 days hatched/released from the male March 19th, 2014, but close enough). There are six in this batch remaining, as I had a bit of an issue part way through with unplugging the heater for about a week and these were the only ones that made it through (28 hatched, 3 died within 48 hours, 19 died with heater problem at day 40).    <message edited by CaptCrash on Wednesday, June 4, 2014 9:19 PM> Stay up to date with my breeding efforts: Regal Tang RegalTangBreeding Mccullochi Clownfish MccullochiClownfishBreeding    #31 Lrood Total Posts : 370 Reward points : 880 Joined: 1/14/2012 Location: Zionsville, IN, US Status: offline MBI: 665 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Monday, June 2, 2014 10:12 AM (permalink) Great job.

Add another icon to your list!   Yup these guys took me such a long time.  But at least now its something other than a clown that I have got all the way through with reports. Ironically, I have another two batches of these going, one of 30 and one 35.  A friend locally has just had his male release a clutch of 75, so my 65 from two batches seems very small.   Now to work on more shrimps and dottybacks and get those little buggers done.

He breeds clams and was finding it too difficult to keep up with the fish breeding as well. So I went around and collected the fish. The net result is that I now have a massive group of Banggai Cardinalfish (39 adults), these were all in one large tank. I have separated the group into three tanks with 10, 10 and 19 fish in each tank and will see how they do. I may look to setup a couple of 4' tanks I have with a large bulkhead joiner, to give extra room and put the group back together. I also picked up his grow out fish, this included Banggai Cardinalfish 73 fish at 3cm (just over 1") 57 fish at 2cm (just under 1") 104 at around 1cm (under 1/2") Occy x Perc cross 240 between 1-2cm So I consider it a really good day. I'll post some photos tomorrow once they have all settled in and the lights are on. With any luck I can continue on from his success and breed 100's of the little buggers as well.

I had enough trouble keeping up with my one breeding pair of banggai's, but I only had one grow out tank for their offspring. You should be set with broodstock! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ken   #35 ssabey Total Posts : 188 Reward points : 791 Joined: 12/5/2010 Location: American Fork, UT, US Status: offline MBI: 1415 Pnts MBI Site: Wasatch Marine Aquarium Society Forums Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Pterapogon kauderni Monday, June 29, 2015 2:02 AM (permalink) I have been following Acro Al and his Banggai, (and Clam) breeding project for some time. I also have a large tank with a large group of breeding Banggai. Be cautious putting them in smaller systems as they tend to pick each other off until there is only one pair remaining. Good Luck with them!!!     #36 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 12 | Showing page 2 of 2, messages 21 to 36 of 36 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
