I also can't work out which male is spare yet to remove him! As with all my broodstock, there now in 2 ft tanks as part of a 700 ltr system , which seems to be working wonders in terms of spawns!!   #3 matt1001 Total Posts : 268 Reward points : 768 Joined: 12/13/2011 Location: dorchester, Dorset, GB Status: offline MBI: 290 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Ecsenius stigmatura Friday, January 4, 2013 6:34 PM (permalink) gutted I lost two of these, for unknown reasons,  so will consider this journal on hold until I can source another pair   #4 matt1001 Total Posts : 268 Reward points : 768 Joined: 12/13/2011 Location: dorchester, Dorset, GB Status: offline MBI: 290 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Ecsenius stigmatura Sunday, March 31, 2013 6:24 PM (permalink) well back in the game,  picking up two pairs tomorrow    #5 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: Ecsenius stigmatura Sunday, March 31, 2013 9:50 PM (permalink) Cool!  Good luck!   With your last trio, it kinda makes me think you had two females and the male was breeding with both of them.  Isn't it unlikely for a single pair to produce eggs just 2-3 days apart? Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]   #6 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: Ecsenius stigmatura Sunday, March 31, 2013 11:32 PM (permalink) Better luck this time - am dying to see some eggs   #7 matt1001 Total Posts : 268 Reward points : 768 Joined: 12/13/2011 Location: dorchester, Dorset, GB Status: offline MBI: 290 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Ecsenius stigmatura Monday, April 1, 2013 5:09 PM (permalink) yeah I really wish id taken pics the first time, but in all honesty I just stood fascinated watching them hatch out   two pairs collected today though, so hopefully it wont take long now   #8 matt1001 Total Posts : 268 Reward points : 768 Joined: 12/13/2011 Location: dorchester, Dorset, GB Status: offline MBI: 290 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Ecsenius stigmatura Saturday, August 17, 2013 2:25 PM (permalink) Just for you matt   #9 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
